zfs discuss - Jan 2009 - "locate" disk command? locate broken disk?

If zfs says that one disk is broken, how do I locate it? It says that disk
c0t3d0 is broken. Which disk is that? I must locate them during install?

In Thumper it is possible to issue a ZFS command, and the corresponding
disk''s lamp will flash? Is there any "zlocate" command that
will flash a particular disk''s lamp?

This really isn''t a function suitable for a file system, IMHO.  I think
you
might be thinking of the more comprehensive efforts ongoing in the
Sensor Abstraction Layer project.

I also recommend reading Eric Schrock''s blog entries on how this
is leveraged specifically for disks.

There is an optional utility supplied by Sun (for all supported OSes)  
to map the internal drives of the X4500/X4540 to their platform  
specific device IDs, its called ''hd'' and is on one of the
support CD''s
supplied with the systems (and can be downloaded if you''ve mislaid the
disk!).

Documentation here (including link to download) ...
