Hello all, Trying to reply to everyone so far in one post.

It has the serial numbers of the drives along with the path. I had the path before but I couldn't relate it to the physical connectors on the mobo. The serial number is what I needed.

I couldn't copy and paste Jim's message since he posted with MIME instead of regular ASCII test. Thank you Jim for the help. This turned out to be a Solaris question not a ZFS question. Sorry and thank you Casper and Jim and Edward Ned! _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
