Assuming one has 6 disks on two controllers and one dies, how does one tell the dead one? Which controller/port?
There are probably more elegant ways, but I use smartctl -a on the failed drive to find it's serial number and use this to find the location based on where I installed the drives initially, which I note in a text file or a label attached to the exterior of the case on machines with removable drive trays.
