Task 6A backup administrator finished installing a PowerProtect DD3300.

To flash an LED on a hard drive and bring a disk back online using the DD System Manager or DDOS CLI, follow these general steps:

Step 1: Identify the Disk

In DD System Manager:

Go to the Hardware section in the sidebar.

Locate the list of disks, and find Disk 1.5 (the offline disk).

In DDOS CLI (if using CLI):

Use the command to list disks and confirm the status of Disk 1.5.

Command example: disk show state or disk show summary.

Step 2: Flash the LED on the Disk

In DD System Manager:

In the Hardware section, select Disk 1.5.

Look for an option like Flash LED or Locate Drive to help identify the physical disk.

Activate the LED flash to identify the disk physically.

In DDOS CLI:

Use the command: disk locate 1.5 to flash the LED for Disk 1.5.

Step 3: Bring the Disk Back Online

In DD System Manager:

After identifying the disk, check for options to Bring Online or Reactivate Disk 1.5.

Select the option to return the disk to operation.

In DDOS CLI:

Use the command: disk unfail 1.5 to bring the disk back online.

Step 4: Verify the Disk Status

Confirm in DD System Manager or by using the disk show state command in CLI that Disk 1.5 is now online and functioning.

After completing these steps, the LED should flash to help locate the disk physically, and then Disk 1.5 will be returned to an operational state. Let me know if you need further guidance!
