From This serial number 9716E30027 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 0020772-9716E30027

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: JDE915350PJ46U

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

INTERNAL SUMMARY:

This procedure works for Solaris 2.6 and above

you can use this information in conjunction with infodoc #16735 to help set up disk-led-assoc
