flash the drive

[Jeff Hagstrom]

We have an hpk460/9000 with unix 11.00. I thought there was a command the would make the drive light flash.

Hi Jeff:

# dd if=/dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ of=/dev/null bs=64k count=1000

jeff,

Any command to access the disk will make the led flash.

The one your probably thinking of is one in STM.

If you use the expert disk tool there is an option to flash the disk led. You need a password from HP to use it though.

Just a read test as the example given will work or you can do a read test through STM aswell.
