I'm having trouble figuring out how to hotswap dead drives on a potential
fileserver I am building. I'm using an LSI Internal SATA/SAS 9211-8i &
9211-4i to connect 12 SATA drives on a Supermicro backplane that supports
SES-2. I am finding conflicting information as to whether OpenIndiana can
light the bay LED of the failed drive on command. If it can, how do I do it?
If it can't, how do I identify which bay to swap the drive out of? Right now
I've got a mapping of drive serial #'s to bays, but that isn't ideal for a
group of admins to execute upon.
Also, although the backplane supports SES-2, I'm not seeing /dev/es/ses0. I
installed system/io/tests, but I don't have sestopo in that package.
