Execute the "esxcli vgc beacon" command with the desired "vgc[a-z]" device or the corresponding PCI address, and "-b 1"or "-b 0" to enable or disable the beacon respectively. When enabled, the named X8 Accelerator device can be identified using two on-board LEDs flashing in unison. NOTE vgc beacon command cannot be used on X8 Accelerator devices that are added in Pass-Through mode and attached to Guest VMs. ~# esxcli vgc beacon Usage: esxcli vgc beacon {cmd} [cmd options] Available Commands: drive Locate a drive by blinking its LEDs SEAGATE X8 ACCELERATOR FOR VMWARE ESXI USER GUIDE, REV.
