When i type iostat -iE on my solaris 9 or 10 i get

bash-3.00# iostat -iE
sd0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: FUJITSU Product: MAP3367N SUN36G Revision: 0401
Device Id: id1,sd@XXXXXXXXX_
Size: 36.42GB <36418595328 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

while if i give the same command on solaris 7 or 8, i get :

# iostat -niE
iostat: illegal option -- i
Usage: iostat [-cCdDeEImMnpPrstxz] [-l n] [T d|u] [disk ...] [interval [count]]
-c: report percentage of time system has spent
in user/system/wait/idle mode
-C: report disk statistics by controller
-d: display disk Kb/sec, transfers/sec, avg.
service time in milliseconds
-D: display disk reads/sec, writes/sec,
percentage disk utilization
-e: report device error summary statistics
-E: report extended device error statistics
-I: report the counts in each interval,
instead of rates, where applicable
-l n: Limit the number of disks to n
-m: Display mount points (most useful with -p)
-M: Display data throughput in MB/sec instead of Kb/sec
-n: convert device names to cXdYtZ format
-p: report per-partition disk statistics
-P: report per-partition disk statistics only,
no per-device disk statistics
-r: Display data in comma separated format
-s: Suppress state change messages
-T d|u Display a timestamp in date (d) or unix time_t (u)
-t: display chars read/written to terminals
-x: display extended disk statistics
-z: Suppress entries with all zero values

so can anyone tell me how to capture device id info on solaris 8 and below

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

       It is advisable to exit install-solaris by means of the exit options in the install-solaris menus.
