sas_disk_blink

SAS_DISK_BLINK(8)						      SDPARM							 SAS_DISK_BLINK(8)

NAME

       sas_disk_blink - blink the LED on a SAS disk

SYNOPSIS

       sas_disk_blink [--help] [--set NUM] [--verbose] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION

       This  bash shell script attempts to blink the LED on the SAS disk referred to by DEVICE. By default the LED will blink for 30 seconds. This
       is meant to help identify which disk corresponds to a given DEVICE.

       The script use the sdparm utility and manipulates the "Ready LED Meaning" (RLM) field in the Protocol specific port mode page in  order	to
       blink the LED.

OPTIONS

       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -h, --help
	      print out the usage message then exit.

       -s, --set NUM
	      when  NUM is 0 then the RLM field is cleared. When NUM is 1 then the RLM field is set. When NUM > 1 then the SAS disk LED is made to
	      blink for NUM seconds. If this option is not given then the SAS disk LED is made to blink for 30 seconds.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase level or verbosity.

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status of this script is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise the exit status is that of the last sdparm	utility  called.  See  the
       sdparm(8) man page.
