How to find the physical location of a disk. – OSNEXUS Customer Support

Subject:

The "storcli" command can show the actual slot for a disk and will correlate to the slot represented in the Quantastor "Hardware Enclosures" window .

The "lshw" command (lshw -class disk) will give additional detail about the disk but will not show the slot location of a drive.

Detail:

You can locate the drive slot using the Quantastor GUI by going to the "Hardware Enclosure & Controllers" section of the GUI.

Please review the link below for additional details:
