Identifying Disk Drives

You can identify disk drives by viewing the list of disk drives on your system. Only physical

drives that display during POST are shown.

To identify a disk drive:

1 Start the ARC utility (see page 97).

2 Select the controller you want, then press Enter.

3 Select Disk Utilities.

The Disk Utilities view will provide you with the following information:

The location information of a disk drive is determined by three types of connections:

● Direct attached drives—The connection is determined by the cable connected to a device,

for example CN1 (connector 1) is connected to DEV1 (device 1). For more information, see

Direct-attach Connections

on page 84.

● Storage Enclosure Processor (SEP) managed devices—The connection is determined by an

active backplane. Box0 (enclosure 0) is connected to slot0 (disk drive slot 0 in the

enclosure). For more information, see Backplane Connections

on page 84.

● Expanders—The connections is determined by an expander. Exp0 (expander 0) is

connected to phy0 (phy 0 within a connector). For more information, see SAS Expander

Connections

on page 85.

Note: Devices other than disk drives (CDROM, tape drives, etc...) are listed in order after your

system disk drives.
