But it sounds like your disks are connected directly to the HBA? If that's the case, the problem is much harder. I don't think that there is a standard way to get it, and the FreeBSD kernel doesn't currently help much. mps(4) accepts some custom ioctls to look up configuration information. To learn how to use them, ask your LSI FAE for the "Fusion-MPT 2.0 Message Passing Interface (MPI) Specification Guide". The best solution would be to update the kernel to report physical path information for da disks. I think that information is currently reported only for disks connected to a SES enclosure. -Alan
