Abstract
Various embodiments for audibly mapping computing components in a computer storage system, by a processor device, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises creating a detectible audible pattern using an actuator arm and head assembly of a hard disk drive operating in the computer storage system for physically mapping the hard disk drive to a logical location within the computer storage system.
Claims27
A method for audibly mapping computing components in a computer storage system, by a processor device, comprising:
- creating a detectible audible pattern using an actuator arm and head assembly of a hard disk drive operating in the computer storage system for physically mapping the hard disk drive to a logical location within the computer storage system.
A system for audibly mapping computing components in a computer storage system, comprising:
- at least one processor device, wherein the at least one processor device:
- creates a detectible audible pattern using an actuator arm and head assembly of a hard disk drive operating in the computer storage system for physically mapping the hard disk drive to a logical location within the computer storage system.
A computer program product for audibly mapping computing components in a computer storage system by at least one processor device, the computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion that creates a detectible audible pattern using an actuator arm and head assembly of a hard disk drive operating in the computer storage system for physically mapping the hard disk drive to a logical location within the computer storage system.
