Identifying disks
When you do maintenance or service work on your RAID storage, it is important for many tasks
that you positively identify the disk or disks on which you are working. Your primary indicators
for this are the numbering of the disks in Storage Utility and the ability to flash the disk LED on a
physical disk or a group of disks.
