June 6, 20215 yr Hi, I’ve googled this a bit but can seem to find something that will blink the drive LED to help me identify a drive that’s in the chassis. I’ve tried disk location, but that doesn’t seem to work…is there something else to try? On these chassis, there are two LEDs, a blue activity light and a red identify led. I’d like to blink the red LED so that I can identify a drive even when there is activity. Thank you!
June 6, 20215 yr Didn't know that. Can you please elaborate. We're talking about a DAS/JBOD chassis attached to a main server and the main servers HBA (or the main servers backplane expander), right? If it works that way and it's important to you, I would install a Windows VM. Edited June 6, 20215 yr by hawihoney
June 6, 20215 yr Could be overlook it is enclosure locator LED not disk LED, no detail from plugin creator.

It uses sg_ses: https://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg_ses.html Seems that this utility can flash disk and enclosure LEDs. Never needed a tool like that - all disks are proper labeled and archived here - but would be fun to look into it. Fast way: Windows VM. Slow way: Try to get this into Slackware/Unraid. ***EDIT*** Thinking about it, I doubt it will work in a Windows VM. Passed through disks are serviced by host. Only passed through HBAs are in service by VM, Sorry. ***EDIT2*** sg3_utils are part of NERD-Pack plugin. Edited June 6, 20215 yr by hawihoney
