There is a diagnostic function in the VergeIO platform to turn on and off a disk drive's LED light for easy identification.
To access this function follow these steps:
- Login into the VergeIO platform and navigate to the dashboard of the node that you'd like to identify a disk drive for removal.
- Once at the Node dashboard, on the left-hand column select the function labeled Diagnostics
- In the Diagnostics page, change the Query to LED Control (Drive)
- In the LED Control (Drive) details section, modify the Path to the drive that needs to be replaced. (If in doubt, consult recent system alerts and logs for previous errors/warnings) Example: /dev/sdb
- In the LED Control (Drive) details set the State to
On and click Send to activate the LED.
- After the drive has been physically located, set the State to
Off and click Send to deactivate the LED.
Additional Information about identifying and replacing a physical drive can be found in the inline help within the category titled Maintenance, under the section Drive Replacement. This section walks through the entire drive replacement process.
