Beacon Menu
11: Beacon
The Beacon menu provides options for beaconing : a process by which an LED on
a device (adapter or target) is flashed or blinked to locate it. Use the Locate HBA
option to beacon a specified adapter. Use the Locate Target option to beacon a
specified storage device (the Locate Target option assumes that the target is a
JBOD device rather than RAID).
When you select the Beacon option, SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI shows the
Beacon Menu containing these options:
„ Locate HBA
„ Locate Target(s)
Locate HBA: HBA Beacon
(Command Line Option -a)
11: Beacon 1: Locate HBA
When you select this option, SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI shows the HBA
Beacon Menu that lists all adapter ports. Select any port, and then press ENTER
to toggle the Beacon LED for that port:
Locate Target(s): Target Beacon
(Command Line Option -tb)
11: Beacon 2: Locate Target(s)
When you select this option, SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI shows the Target
Beacon Menu that lists all adapter ports. Select any port, and then press ENTER
to view the disk details of that port, including the current beacon status:
