Thanks a lot Jonathan

I asked a Sun engineer but even he was not sure about how to get to the

disk from the path. He said they generally to a format-analyze-read on a

neighbouring disk to see

the lights blinking.

Original question:

Subject: How to find the slot on I/O board from c?t?d?s?

I need to know which sbus slot (0,1,2) on the I/O board a disk is connected

to.

I have a disk c2t3d0s0

If a do a ls -l on /dev/rdsk/c2t3d0s0 it gives me

sbus@3,0/QLGC,isp@0,10000/sd@3,0:a,raw

             |

             ------> This number divided by 2 gives me the board number

(3/2 =1)

How do I get the slot number on this board.

Actually this disk is in a RSM tray.
