Move hard disk to another SCSI host

I was using an external SCSI disk on a Sun Ultra60 (Solaris 7) as the boot device. It was labelled c1t0d0. I then moved it into the internal removable mounts and it should become c0t0d0, but it apparently didn't change properly. When the machine boots, it gets host information from the disk...

Udev Rule TAG for identifying a local sas disk, non-scsi, non-fiber, non-iscsi

I need to add a VMware virtual disk to the 99-oracle-asmdevices.rules file but the OS is not assigning a WWID to the disk. It has been fdisk'd and a single partition created. What TAG inside the file needs to be added? the Program scsi-id does not work for some reason. latest patches...

diskscan

diskscan(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      diskscan(1M)

NAME

       diskscan - perform surface analysis

SYNOPSIS

       diskscan [-W] [-n] [-y] raw_device

DESCRIPTION

       diskscan  is used by the system administrator to perform surface analysis on a portion of a hard disk. The disk portion may be a raw parti-
       tion or slice; it is identified using its raw device name. By default, the specified portion of the  disk  is  read  (non-destructive)  and
       errors  reported  on standard error. In addition, a progress report is printed on standard out. The list of bad blocks should be saved in a
       file and later fed into addbadsec(1M), which will remap them.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n	Causes	diskscan to suppress linefeeds when printing progress information on standard out.

       -W	Causes diskscan to perform write and read surface analysis. This type of surface analysis is destructive  and  should  be  invoked
		with caution.

       -y	Causes	diskscan to suppress the warning regarding destruction of existing data that is issued when  -W is used.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       raw_device      The address of the disk drive (see FILES).

FILES

       The raw device should be /dev/rdsk/c?[t?]d?[ps]?. See disks(1M) for an explanation of SCSI and IDE device naming conventions.

ATTRIBUTES

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

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Architecture		     |x86			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       addbadsec(1M), disks(1M), fdisk(1M), fmthard(1M), format(1M), attributes(5)

NOTES

       The  format(1M)	utility is available to format, label, analyze, and repair SCSI disks. This utility is included with the diskscan, addbad-
       sec(1M), fdisk(1M), and fmthard(1M) commands available for x86. To format an IDE disk, use the  DOS format utility; however, to label, ana-
       lyze, or repair IDE disks on x86 systems, use the Solaris format(1M) utility.
