I have no experience with rack mount chassis and the associated HDD
bays (active or passive)
To reduce the H/W cost, I am considering Linux mdadm RAID10 on a 2U
chassis. However, I am not sure whether there is any visual/audio HDD
failure notification from the HDD bay to the OS.
Do the HDD bays that house the hard disks have the following feature?
(a) Indicate HDD failure. LED lights up and/or audio alarm?
(b) The failed HDD can be hot swapped.
To get the above functionality what kind of bays do I need to specify?
TIA.
