However the use of the JBOD did raise an issue regarding blinking disk leds.<br><br>I noticed that the signals send with sas2ircu were not doing their job (nothing blinks). After some calls to dell technicians, I heard<br>that dell has disabled these signals in their firmware and only allows signalling through their own tool, which only works with windows<br>and some linux flavours.<br><br>At that time I hear about santools which "might propably" be used for this blinking functionality (and more), but you have to buy it to test it.<br>Bit expensive for a test.<br><br>After this long intro, my question is:<br>Does anybody know of a another way (script, tools etc) to get this blinking functionality going in this hardware combination (ofcourse NOT using dd) ?<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Try fmtopo first.
