Hi Ross,
in general, it's just as easy to identify drives attached to
this card as it is to identify drives attached to any other
card. 

The output from 'iostat -En' will help, along with careful
observation of the drive's serial number and devid. You can
find the devid (which, last I checked, is guaranteed to be
unique) by looking for the "devid" property associated with
your specific device.
