How To Identify A Disk Slot - Fujitsu Oracle M10-1 Service Manual

How to identify a disk slot

To maintain an internal disk drive, you need to know the physical device name or
logical device name of a drive to be installed or removed. If a disk error occurs in the
system, from the system console, you can normally check for messages regarding a
disk that is likely to fail or that has already failed. This information is also recorded in
the /var/adm/messages file.
In these error messages, a failed internal disk drive is normally indicated with a
physical device name or logical device name. In addition, depending on the
application, the slot number of the disk may be reported.
The procedure to confirm the mounting location information on the disk varies
depending on the operating system.
