bl460g5: HDD`s both LED flashing green
We have a c3000 blade chassis, and installed bl460 g5 blades. On one of the blades have broken both HDDs (one died and the other is in a state of "predictive failure"). HDDs have been replaced.
However, on both new HDDs both LED - flashing green. Why?

Re: bl460g5: HDD`s both LED flashing green
Both drives are a part of the logical drive which shows to have RAID 1 redundancy.
Likely the flashing green is showing the activity that occurs when the data is balancing between the two drives.

Re: bl460g5: HDD`s both LED flashing green
The drives blink green when they are being accessed for read/write, and also when idle from data transfers the Smart Array controller starts performing a surface scan looking for defects on the disks

Re: bl460g5: HDD`s both LED flashing green
I think you misunderstood me ...
The disc has two LEDs. According to this document:
One LED can lights green. The second LED can lights amber or blue.
But the newly-installed HDD, both LEDs flash green.
Why?

Sorry, I did misunderstand your question.
