I know you've figured it out now, but thought i'd post my notes anyway incase they are useful

lscfg shows the hardware addresses of all hardware

lscfg -pvl ent1 will give more detail for an individual device (e.g. ent1)

on my box:
# lscfg -pvl ent1
ent1 U788C.001.AAC1535-P1-T2 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter (14108902)

2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter:
Network Address.............001125C5E831
ROM Level.(alterable).......DV0210
Hardware Location Code......U788C.001.AAC1535-P1-T2

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

Name: ethernet
Node: ethernet@1,1
Device Type: network
Physical Location: U788C.001.AAC1535-P1-T2

Is an 'Internal Port'

whereas ent2

# lscfg -pvl ent2
ent2 U788C.001.AAC1535-P1-C13-C1-T1 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter (14108902)

2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter:
Part Number.................03N5298
FRU Number..................03N5298
EC Level....................H13845$
Brand.......................H0
Manufacture ID..............YL1021
Network Address.............001A64A8D516
ROM Level.(alterable).......DV0210
Hardware Location Code......U788C.001.AAC1535-P1-C13-C1-T1

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

Name: ethernet
Node: ethernet@1
Device Type: network
Physical Location: U788C.001.AAC1535-P1-C13-C1-T1

is on an PCI I/O card

For a physical address e.g.

U788C.001.AAC1535-P1-C13-C1-T1

U788C.001.AAC1535 - this part identifies the 'system unit/draw'. If your system is made up of several draws then look on the front and match the ID to this section of the address.

Now go round the back of the server

P1 This is the PCI bus number. You may only have one.

C13 - Card Slot C13 - They should be numbered on the back of the server

C1-T1 - this is port 1 of 2 that are on the card.

Your internal ports won't have the Card Slot numbers, just the T number, representing the port. This should be marked on the back of your server

e.g. U788C.001.AAC1535-P1-T2 means unit U788C.001.AAC1535 PCI bus P1 port T2 and I would expect to see T2 printed on the back of the server.

Hope that makes sense, haven't had time to proof read this!

NAME

     arcmsr -- Areca Technology Corporation SATA/SAS RAID controller

SYNOPSIS

     arcmsr* at pci? dev ? function ?

DESCRIPTION

     The arcmsr driver provides support for the PCI-X and PCI Express RAID controllers from Areca Technology Corporation:

	   -   ARC-1110 PCI-X 4 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1110ML PCI-X 4 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1120 PCI-X 8 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1120ML PCI-X 8 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1130 PCI-X 12 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1130ML PCI-X 12 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1160 PCI-X 16 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1160ML PCI-X 16 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1170 PCI-X 24 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1200 Rev A PCI Express 2 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1202 PCI Express 2 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1210 PCI Express 4 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1220 PCI Express 8 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1230 PCI Express 12 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1230ML PCI Express 12 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1231ML PCI Express 12 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1260 PCI Express 16 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1260ML PCI Express 16 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1261ML PCI Express 16 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1280 PCI Express 24 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1280ML PCI Express 24 Port SATA RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1680 PCI Express 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1680LP PCI Express 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1680i PCI Express 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1680x PCI Express 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
	   -   ARC-1681 PCI-X 8 Port SAS RAID Controller

     These controllers support RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6, and JBOD using either SAS or SATA II drives.

     arcmsr supports management and monitoring of the controller through the bioctl(8) and envstat(8) commands.

     Please note, however, that to use some features that require special privileges, such as creating/removing hot-spares, pass-through disks or
     RAID volumes will require to have the password disabled in the firmware; otherwise a Permission denied error will be reported by bioctl(8).

     When a RAID 1 or 1+0 volume is created, either through the bioctl(8) command or controller's firmware, the volume won't be accessible until
     the initialization is done.  A way to get access to the sd(4) device that corresponds to that volume without rebooting, is to issue the fol-
     lowing command (once the initialization is finished):

     $ scsictl scsibus0 scan any any

     The arcmsr driver will also report to the kernel log buffer any error that might appear when handling firmware commands, such as used by the
     bioctl(8) command.

EVENTS

     The arcmsr driver is able to send events to powerd(8) if a volume or any drive connected to the volume is not online.  The state-changed
     event will be sent to the /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive script when such condition happens.

HISTORY

     The arcmsr driver first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS

     The arcmsr driver was originally written for OpenBSD by David Gwynne.  It was ported to NetBSD and extended by Juan Romero Pardines.
