Disk Slot Numbers
To perform a disk hot-plug procedure, you must know the physical or logical device
name for the drive that you want to install or remove. If your system encounters disk
errors, you can find messages about failing disks in the system console or in the
/var/adm/messages files.
These error messages typically refer to a failed hard drive by its physical device
name (for example, /devices/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@1/0) or by its logical
device name (for example, c0t1d0). In addition, some applications may report a disk
number (Disk0 through Disk3).
