Making the Drive light flash

When you use SAM to replace a drive that is mirrored, The message when it is ready to swap out the drive it will have the LED on the drive flash do you can be sure you have the right drive.
I was wondering how you could make the drive LED flash from the command line.
Does any one know?

Hi Marty:

# dd if=/dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ of=/dev/null bs=1024k

Interrupt with CTL_C when you want to terminate.

Regards!

I had never thought of the 'dd' command.
