I have a bad drive and i need to replace it, however, i have 2 HP Disk System 2120 and i cant tell which drive is the one i need to remove.

Any ideas on how i can identify the disk??
Thanks!

Now you can follow the cable ...
But I prefer to turn the activity LED on for the *good* disk (using "dd"), so you know you need to pull the other disk ...
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

SolutionFrom vgdisplay get the device file of the *good* disk, then do
# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0 of=/dev/null
where c1t1d0 is the GOOD disk.
You will see the activity LED steady on.
I assume you already know the slot of your bad disk - so now you know the bad disk.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
