1 LOCATE Format: LOCATE When the above-mentioned command is executed, the LEDs of the requested drives will blink. These LEDs are visible from the front of the attached storage enclosures. Note: - If time limit is not included with the LOCATE command, the LEDs will blink for 30 seconds. In some cases, the LEDs may not blink but will remain steady. - LOCATE command, does not work from the STANDBY CONTROLLER 2 ALL LOCATE All causes all the drives connected to the MSA storage sub-system to flash. 2 BOX LOCATE BOX causes the disks connected to the specified box/enclosure number to flash. 2 BUS LOCATE BUS causes the disks connected to the specified bus number to flash. 2 CANCEL LOCATE CANCEL cancels the current locate operation. 2 DISKS LOCATE DISKS will make the specified drive to flash. Disks are identified by their corresponding SCSI bus and SCSI IDs for all the controllers. For SAS controllers, internally connected disks are numbered based on their bay numbers and externally connected disks are numbered based on combination of their box number and bay number as "disk_n = box number *100 + bay number". Note: The disk numbers for the existing disks can be obtained using the SHOW DISKS command. 2 UNIT LOCATE UNIT causes the disks configured to the specified unit to flash. 2 Qualifiers 3 /Time Time value contains the time interval for which the disk's LED should flash. Format: /TIME=xxx-(optional) the length of time to flash the LEDs, where xxx represents the number of seconds. 3 /Verbose Provides logging that can be interpreted by engineering. 2 Examples - Locating all drives attached to the storage enclosure Example command LOCATE ALL - Locating all drives in a specific BOX Example command LOCATE BOX 1 Command options: BOX 1 - the drives in BOX 1 will be flashed. - Locating all drives for a specific SCSI bus Example command LOCATE BUS 1 Command options: BUS 1 - all drives connected to bus number 1 will be flashed. - Locating all drives in a specific UNIT Example command LOCATE UNIT 1 Command options: UNIT 1 - the drives in UNIT 1 will be flashed. - Locating specific drives Example command LOCATE DISK 102
