Displaying Pool Devices by Physical Locations

Use the zpool status -l command to display information about the physical location of pool devices. Reviewing the physical location information is helpful when you need to physically remove or replace a disk.

In addition, you can use the fmadm add-alias command to include a disk alias name that helps you identify the physical location of disks in your environment. For example:

$ fmadm add-alias SUN-Storage-J4400.1002QCQ015 Lab10Rack5disk

$ zpool status -l system1
  pool: system1
