This procedure describes locating an FMod from your OS. To physically locate an FMod on the card, use the labels. See FMod Physical Locations.
For Oracle Solaris use the format, firmwareflash, dmesg, raidctl, or a similar command to locate the FMod.
For example, type:
# format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c2t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 2985 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> pci@7c,0/pci10de,378@b/pci1000,1000@0/sd@0,0 1. c2t1d0 <DEFAULT cyl 2985 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> pci@7c,0/pci10de,378@b/pci1000,1000@0/sd@1,0 2. c2t2d0 <DEFAULT cyl 2985 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> pci@7c,0/pci10de,378@b/pci1000,1000@0/sd@2,0 3. c2t3d0 <DEFAULT cyl 2984 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> pci@7c,0/pci10de,378@b/pci1000,1000@0/sd@3,0 Specify disk (enter its number):
In this example, the FMods are located at controller 2, with target numbers 0 - 3. FMods are always targets 0 - 3, which corresponds with the labeling on the card.
For Linux, you must have root access, and depending on your Linux distribution you might need the sg3_utils package installed.
Use the fdisk, parted, dmesg, lsscsi, lspci or similar command to locate the FMod.
For Windows, use the Device Manager or Disk Manager to locate FMods.
