Description
This document describes How to find the physical location of an SSA disk by device path.

Steps to Follow
How do I find out the physical location of a drive on SSA by looking at the device path.
The device path could be as follows:
E4000 example:
/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,soc@1,0/SUNW,pln@a0000000,741021/ssd@0,0
ssd@0,0 means it is the zero drive on target 0 (drive in slot 1)
SS20 Example:
/sbus@f,e0001000/SUNW,soc@1,0/SUNW,pln@a0000000,78bc29/ssd@0,3
ssd@0,3 means it is the third drive on target 0 (drive in slot four)
Get the following information by typing:
# ssaadm display cX (where X is the controller number of the SSA)

Front of SSA
Note: to identify which the SSA enclosure the disk is in, match the last 4 digits
of the Serial Num from "ssaadm display" or from the physical path (c6ff) to the
number on front panel on the SSA itself.   Also, see Technical Instruction <Document: 1010027.1> on how to replace
an SSA controller and change the WWN.
