The bulk of your disks are SSA, so you are looking at the logical disks (hdisk) assignments. Try running
lsdev -Cc pdisk to see the physical disk locations. They are also identified as part of a specific drawer. Are they internal to your device (some internal SSA slots/sixpacks) or is there a D40 style drawer in your rack or a T40 sitting along side? If you want to know which pdisk matches which hdisk, try this shell (ksh) for i in `lsdev -CS1 -c pdisk -F name` do print -n "$i: " /usr/sbin/ssaxlate -l $i done (on the lsdev command, the S1 flag means State-Available) If you just want to know where a particular ssa disk is, run the ssaidentify command, which will flash the light on the drive ssaidentify -lpdisk9 -y (or -n to turn off) If you are looking to identify what 11-08 or 40-60 means, you need to tell us what class of machine you are using. Each RS/6000 has slightly different identification schemes for the bus, and knowing which adapter is which is predicated on knowing the model type of the server. I do hope that was helpful, though. -drs- David Stabler, CATE/AIX, CNCE Senior Systems Analyst >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/27/02 13:58 PM >>> Below is output of an "lsdev" command in AIX. Anyone have any good documentation or can someone sum up for me how to physically locate these disks/adapters physically in the system by these location codes in this output. Can anyone make sense out of this. I am mainly interested in PCI readings for obvious reasons.
