Note - Whence we have some more details, we can add this as an actual entry at bugs.freenas.org.
This subject came up in another thread;
https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/supermicro-red-light-implimentation-plans.39262/
My idea was to have a frame work in place, (probably only on FreeNAS 10.x), that allows GUI access
to any drive LEDs. Perhaps blink, steady on, off and status. Each enclosure, HBA and possibly system
board would have to have it's own plugin. (Plugin in this context is GUI interface addition.)
Certain stock configurations could be stored for immediate use, and as examples for other configurations.
People who use custom configurations and want this feature, would have to write there own, (using examples
and a LED Plugin Developer's Guide).
This could actually help iXsystems when they need to migrate to new hardware for TrueNAS. They create
a plugin for the new HBA, (or SAS expander), and any new units sold use that.
Ideally, the actual plugin would be a text script, checking for needed executables before using them. Then
translating input parameters into a HBA command.
Thoughts?
