Dan,

Do the disks blink red at any regular interval? Do all the disks on a given
shelf blink, or just some of the disks?

Thank you,
Timothy Naple

Subject: LED on drives flashes from green to red


I'm just wondering if this is normal and why it happens. I've recently been
put in charge of admin'ing several F760s and am just starting to learm my
way around them. I've noticed that some times the green LED will flash red
for just a second and then back to green. This is on drives that are in use
and getting quite a bit of I/O.

Thanks
Dan

Sorry for picking up on such an old thread but I'm seeing the same behavior
on a NetApp that a client of mine has. It seems to work just fine and I
can't find anything 'wrong' with it other than all the red 'disk-failed'
led lights blink on each shelf (there are two FC9s loaded with X21s) once
every 10? seconds. The shelves don't do it at the same time. They are
attached to a F740 all of the disk have the latest FW for the release it's
runing.

Any clues as to what could be the problem here? The client has let their
support lapse so calling netapp is out of the question for now.

Do the FC9's have a 2nd LRC installed, that is currently not attached to
a fiber loop?

I've seen that - where those red flashes are the shelf warning you that
you have an open fiber loop on them.

Not a problem per-se - just a warning.

Davin.
