HDD led locate

[corsinvest]

Good morning,
We 've a Proxmox + Ceph cluster of 3 servers, with sata controller Symbios Logic SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3.
We found a tool (sas2ircu) to locate hdd leds manually, It would be possible to integrate thats or similar tools in the web GUI?

Thanks,
best regards

Alessandro

Seems that only works with LSI SAS2 HW Raid controllers? If so, this is of limited use for most people..

Thanks Mr. Dietmar,
Is it planned the integration of tools with more standard controller (ex. LSI megaraid)?

 

[dietmar]

not really - HW raid controllers ship there own tools ...

Keep in mind that LSI controllers are probably the most used in the world, even under other names.

All DELL are LSI, the same was for IBM and Cisco.

IIRC , only HP is using a different chipset with smartarray

Supermicro has also the same controller direcly integrated on their motherboards. (With or without raid)

Yes this is true but they don't work alway with the same tools.
What I mean is there is no warranty that it will work.
The point is we can only implement tools what will work in general.

If you create the ZFS raid by using devices by path (as it should be) the slot/port number is wrote in the path:

# ls -la /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000\:01\:00.0-scsi-0\:2\:3\:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 25 10:20 /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:01:00.0-scsi-0:2:3:0 -> ../../sdd

The "3" is our slot 4

After identify the slot:

echo 1 > /sys/class/enclosure/0\:0\:32\:0/3/locate



But one of the latest zed script should blink it automatically

Yes this is true but they don't work alway with the same tools.

As long as they use the same SoC, they do work with the same tools. I have a few LSI-based controllers (IBM, Fujitsu, Dell), and I download tools directly from LSI/Avago (storcli, drivers, firmware, etc). They are always two-three steps ahead of what other vendors offer for their re-branded controllers...
