  • ActiveRAID – how to clear warning alarm?

    Posted by Matt Riley on December 8, 2014 at 4:31 pm

    I have an ActiveRAID from Active Storage still chugging along happily. Until today.

    It’s alarm is going off about a power supply failure. I think it was from a power blip but the power is fine now. However, the RAID won’t stop its (literal) whining. The alarm is quite noisy. I figured out that I could push the “active” oval button on the front and that silences it temporarily, for about 15 minutes or so.

    How can I clear the alarm status for good, though? I don’t see anything obvious in the monitoring software and finding documentation on these seems to be difficult (I know Active went out of business a year or so ago).

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Matt –

    You have to use activeadmin CLI and do an ‘activeadmin –d beeper disable’

    If you do not have Active Admin software.. I think it is still on the active storage website.

    Hope this helps

    Nearly 12 years later this is still good advice. Thank you. 😉
