The RAID Controller has detected a Degraded Virtual Drive. The orange light indicates the RAID-set is rebuilding.  Use "storcli" for example to check this: "

/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 show

Dgrd and Rbld should be seen in the output somewhere.

The beep is turnded on by the Controller.

/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 show alarm

Ctrl_Prop Value

----------------

Alarm     ON   

----------------

Use

/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 set alarm=silence

to turn it off.
