Hey all,
For background I have a system with 3 drive bays, 2 are full one is empty. I currently have one cage with 4 drives, one cage with five drives. All the drives are 3TB. I'm planning on putting in 5 new 4TB drives this weekend which means I need to upgrade my parity drive from a 3TB to a four. The problem is I don't know which drive is the parity drive. 4 four cage has 4 drives in it all with blue lights. My 5 cage has 5 drives in it four with green lights, one with an orange light.
Is there a simple way to tell which drive is the parity drive? Can I make the light blink, is there some command for that? Or do I simply shut it down, pull a drive, check the list and rinse and repeat until I find the parity drive?
Thanks in advance.
