diag
-> enter
-> Task Selection, ..., Service Aids, etc
-> SSA Service Aids
-> Link Verification
-> (choose adapter and press enter)
-> choose a pdisk and press enter to turn on Identify
-> + sign in front of the disk
-> yellow led will blink on that disk
-> double check serial number on the disk
-> press enter again to turn off Identify


HTH,

If you use "errpt" it should tell you the failing disk. Once you see the messate type "errpt -a -j(identifier)" and it will give you the details, and should report a SRN for calling IBM maintenance.

Also, a message typically appears in root mail as well.

lscfg | grep pdisk83 should return you the physical location of that disk. Say it's showing like this :-

pdisk83 11-08-A0E0-05-P SSA160 Physical Disk Drive (18200

so it means, the disk is a member of SSA drawer ( A0E0 is the indicator which will be available in front of the drawer, there will be a orange LED with "A0E0" you can find out.) "05" is showing the position of the disk on that slot in the drawer.
