Identifying a Failed Drive for Replacement

If there is a failed drive in the RAID 5 logical drive, replace the failed drive with a
new drive to keep the logical drive working.
Caution – If, when trying to remove a failed drive, you mistakenly remove the
wrong drive in the same logical drive, you can no longer access the logical drive
because you have incorrectly failed a second drive and caused a critical failure of the
RAID set.
Note – The following procedure only works if there is no I/O activity.
To find a failed drive, identify a single drive, or test all drive activity LEDs, perform
the following steps.
1. Choose "view and edit scsi Drives."
2. Select any drive and press Return.
3. Choose "Identify scsi drive → flash All drives."
This command flashes the activity LEDs of all of the drives in the drive channel.

seconds and press Return.
