Re: Checking disk failure from the system
you know the bus and unit umber of the disk from VMS (SHOW ERROR, DIAGNOSE...). Raid controllers and such often have a LOCATE function, which activates the LED on the disk to find it.
A simple apporoach is to just do some IO (ANA/DISK/READ) to the disk or its neighbors and check for the activity LED.

Re: Checking disk failure from the system
Before we go any further: Which disk controller is the drive connected to?
If it is in some form of array, the problem may be covered by the the array transparently.
This is good news/bad news. The array may not show errors (at least at the OpenVMS level) until things get far worse.
