HSG80 lights on...

Dear Managers,

Not strictly Tru64, but....

I have a 2 node cluster with storage in raid5 sets on an HSG80. Over
the last couple of years a few disks have gone bad and been replaced,
with the hot-spare kicking in from the spareset each time.

I have two questions:

(1) I can't now remember what paterrn of LEDs I should see on the
    front of the controller when everything is OK - I currently have:

    The warning-tone-suppresion button flashing amber
    
    The bigger button on the HSG itself, marked "//", flashing green
    
    The smaller buttons 1,2,3 5,6 on the controller off, and button 4
    solid green (since the last disk-insert/removal, the relevant bus
    re-started OK, as far as I could tell)

    This doesn't look right to me. Can anyone tell me whether it is
    or, if not, what problem it is reporting?

(2) Most of my raid-sets are now spread over different shelves of
    the cab, sometimes with more than one disk on the same bus. Is
    there any easy (and safe!) way to move the disks around to neaten things up?

Many thanks,

Andrew
