Hot swapping a drive on V240.
So, I do cfgadm -c unconfigure <disk>. Then cfgadm -al reports disk as unconfigured as expected.
format then tells me there is no disk.
BUT, blue light does not come on. Done the exact same command on my V440 and blue light does come on.
V240 Server Admin guide confirms that there is, in fact, a blue light same as V440.
I guess it could be a faulty light? The fact that cfgadm and format seem to report the disk status correctly though. Any issues? Anything else I can check?

In article <a0f768d6-3b79-461d...@googlegroups.com>,
The appropriate blue light was lit on my V240 today after I
unconfigured a disk, and a "prtdiag -v" command showed the correct
OK2RM LED was in the "on" state. If "prtdiag -v" on your system says
the LED is on but the physical LED is off then it may, indeed, simply
be nonfunctional.
I have OBP 4.22.33 and ALOM version 1.6.8. I see nothing in
README.121683-06 (PROM patch) about any bugs that would fail to light
the LED, but older ALOM versions do have bugs for amber LEDs.
