esxcli hpssacli cmd -q "controller slot=0 Array G modify led=on”
A very useful command for toggling the LED on a drive to verify that, in the event of
replacing a drive, this is indeed the correct drive. Use the option “modify led=off” to
turn it off again.
esxcli hpssacli cmd -q "rescan”
If the controller does not detect a new/replaced disk drive, you can use this
command to force a rescan.
esxcli hpssacli cmd -q "controller slot=0 create type type=ld drives=2I:1:8
raid=0”
This command will build a RAID-0 logical driver (ld) on the drive found in slot 2I:1:8.
Port is 2I, Box is 1 and Bay is 5. Once this command is run, you should soon start to
see the device appear in ESXi (although if it takes a little while because the autoscan
for devices on ESXi has not run, you can also run the esxcfg-rescan
command against the adapter). The easiest way to do this is to monitor the
vmkernel.log file on ESXi and observe the message related to the device. Here is an
example of a RAID-0 logical volume created on a HP Smart Array controller being
detected by the ESXi host:
