/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

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
