Drive Identification

Hi,

Is there way to identify drive in JBOD shelf?

The generic way, is that you keep a spreadsheet with all disk, their serial numbers and their physical slot locations. In PetaSAN you can view and disk serial number so you can associate the physical slot.

Else you would need to rely on hardware specific tools or BIOS that knows about your particular slots and can display disk serial number.

Hi,

thank you for response!

No way to enable LED light on drive to easly find location like: ledctl locate=/dev/sdd

It is not supported on all hardware. you can try it.

the most generic way is to keep a list of drive serial numbers and their locations.
