Tracing node to a particular HBA in Solaris 9

I have one disk that is reporting I/O errors but the same LUN mounted on a different node is able to access it without issue, is there a way to identify which HBA is being used for the LUN without swapping each out at a time?

optimizing disk performance

I have some questions regarding disk perfomance, and what I can do to make it just a little (or much :)) more faster. From what I've heard the first partitions will be faster than the later ones because tracks at the outer edges of a hard drive platter simply moves faster. But I've also read in...

NAME

       fbt - DTrace function boundary tracing provider

DESCRIPTION

       The fbt driver is a DTrace dynamic tracing provider that performs dynamic instrumentation at function boundaries in the Solaris kernel.

       The  function  is the fundamental unit of program text. In a well-designed system, the function performs a discrete and well-defined opera-
       tion on a specified object or series of like objects. Most functions are  implemented  by  themselves  calling  functions  on  encapsulated
       objects,  but  some  functions --so-called "leaf functions" -- are implemented without making further function calls. The Function Boundary
       Tracing fbt provider contains a mechanism for instrumenting the vast majority of functions in the kernel and offering  the  instrumentation
       as a set of DTrace probes.

       The  fbt  driver is not a public interface and you access the instrumentation offered by this provider through DTrace. Refer to the Solaris
       Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes offered by the
       fbt provider.
