Description
This document describes how to find a disk in a Enterprise [TM] 450 using iostat.

Steps to Follow
If disk-led-assoc is not set up use the following procedure to find out where the disk is located in the front of the Enterprise 450.

Find the c#t#d# of the disk giving us problems by using the format command:

# format

Searching for disks...done

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:

0. c0t0d0 <SUN4.2G cyl 3880 alt 2 hd 16 sec 135>

/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0

1. c0t1d0 <SUN4.2G cyl 3880 alt 2 hd 16 sec 135>

/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0

2. c2t0d0 <SUN4.2G cyl 3879 alt 2 hd 16 sec 135> <------ We will use this disk as an example

/pci@6,4000/scsi@4/sd@0,0

3. c2t1d0 <SUN4.2G cyl 3879 alt 2 hd 16 sec 135>

/pci@6,4000/scsi@4/sd@1,0

Specify disk (enter its number):

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

When we know the c#t#d# then use iostat -En to find the serial # of this disk

# iostat -En

From This serial number 9716E 30027 write down the last 5 numbers in this case it is 30027

On every disk in a Enterprise 450 there is a number on the front bracket in this example it is 0020772-9716E 30027

Notice that the last numbers match the serial number on the drive. Once you have a match you have found your disk!

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Notice: There are a few Seagate drives where the matching numbers are in the middle of the number given from iostat

Example:c0t3d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0

Vendor: SEAGATE Product: ST34371W SUN4.2G Revision: 7462 Serial No: JDE 91535 0PJ46U

The numbers 91535 match the numbers on the drive bracket for this disk.
