Identify drive-bay button on WebUI


Recommended Posts

"Proposed where" In the webui, TOWER/Main/Device?name=XXXXXX  (partity, disk#) page.

 

"Proposed feature:"  A switch/button, which when pressed causes selected disk LED (from context of page listed above) to blink/pulse/constantly on or otherwise be widely annoying distinctive such that a user could look down and go, "Ah the drive-X is in this bay slot."

 

Reasoning for feature:  for replacing drives (bad & upgrade cases).  The correct bay can be open first time, leaving disk array undisturbed. 

 

Possible against:  Does not work with systems which has single, or no, drive-led.  Decent amount of work for, "blinking light show because JCloud didn't document his drive layout." ;)  Potentially the "comments" field for disk(n) pages could be used to note physical location therefore, why re-invent the wheel.  Which, if previous statement is the majority, could the "comments" field be added to Device?parity page?

 

"So that's what things would be like if I'd invented the fing-longer. [Sigh]. A man can dream though. A man can dream..."
