checking dsk c19t2d7

checking dsk c19t3d0

checking dsk c21t0d4
/dev/dsk/c21t0d4

checking dsk c21t0d5
/dev/dsk/c21t0d5

checking dsk c21t0d6
/dev/dsk/c21t0d6

checking dsk c21t0d7
/dev/dsk/c21t0d7


looking for something like this:

checking dsk c19t2d6
checking dsk c19t2d7
checking dsk c19t3d0
checking dsk c21t0d4 /dev/dsk/c21t0d4
