connection attempts. The type of management operations being performed and the number of management sessions taking place
together determine the number of TCP/IP connections made to a RAID controller module. This problem is self-correcting because,
after some TCP/IP connections terminate, the RAID controller module then becomes responsive to other connection attempts.
23 If the storage array is still unresponsive, a problem may exist with the RAID controller modules. Contact your Technical Support
representative.
Locating a physical disk
You can physically locate and identify one or more of the physical disks in an expansion enclosure by activating physical disk LEDs.
To locate the physical disk:
1
Select the
Hardware
tab.
2
Select the physical disks that you want to locate.
3
Select
Hardware
>
Blink
>
Physical Disk.
The LEDs on the selected physical disks blink.
4
When you have located the physical disks, click
OK
.
The LEDs stop blinking. If any other blink operations (Blink Disk Group, Blink Storage Array, Blink Physical Disk Ports, or Blink
Expansion Enclosure) are currently being invoked from another storage management station, these LEDs also stop blinking.
5
In the rare case that the LEDs on the physical disks do not stop blinking, in the AMW, select
Hardware
>
Blink
>
Stop All Indications.
If the LEDs successfully stop blinking, a confirmation message is displayed.

Locating an expansion enclosure
You can use the
Blink
option to physically locate and identify an expansion enclosure in the storage array.
The LED activation varies according to the type of expansion enclosure that you have.
•
If you have an expansion enclosure with a white LED, the Blink Expansion Enclosure operation causes the white LED on the expansion
enclosure to come on. The LED does not blink.
•
If you have any other types of expansion enclosures, this operation causes the appropriate LED on all of the physical disks in the
expansion enclosure to blink.
To locate the expansion enclosure:
1
Select the
Hardware
tab.
2
Select a physical disk in the expansion enclosure that you want to locate.
3
Select
Hardware
>
Blink
>
Expansion Enclosure.
The LED or LEDs on the expansion enclosure or physical disks come on.
4
When you have located the expansion enclosure, click
OK
.
The LEDs stop blinking. (If you have an expansion enclosure with a blue LED, the LED goes off). If any other blink operations (Blink
Storage Array, Blink Disk Group, Blink Physical Disk Ports, Blink Expansion Enclosure, or Blink Physical Disk) are currently being invoked
from another storage management station, these LEDs also stop blinking.
5
If the LEDs on the expansion enclosure do not stop blinking, from the AMW, select
Hardware
>
Blink
>
Stop All Indications.
If the LEDs successfully stop blinking, a confirmation message is displayed.
