Cause of this problem

Disk failed and red LED is not automatically illuminating.

Solution

To physically locate a disk using the disk’s LED, follow these steps. You may substitute ‘blink_on’ and ‘blink_off’ with ‘led_on’ and ‘led_off’.

To enable and disable disk LED blinking (this example uses disk 4.19):

Access advanced commands:

For Data ONTAP 6.0 and later, type: priv set advanced

For earlier releases, type: rc_toggle_basic

　

To enable LED blinking:

blink_on 4.19

The left LED on the disk will start blinking.

　

To disable LED blinking:

blink_off 4.19

The left LED on the disk will stop blinking.

　

Exit advanced commands:

For Data ONTAP 6.0 and later, type: priv set

For earlier releases, type: rc_toggle_basic

If the disk is broken and the red LED does not illuminate, turn on the disk LEDs adjacent to the defective disk. For example, if disk 4.19 fails and its red LED does not turn on, enter the following series of commands:

Access advanced commands:

For Data ONTAP 6.0 and later, type: priv set advanced

For earlier releases, type: rc_toggle_basic

　

Turn on the LEDs adjacent to the failed disk:

led_on 4.18

led_on 4.20

Disks 4.18 and 4.20 LEDs will be illuminated.

　

Turn off LEDs:

led_off 4.18

led_off 4.20
