How to Find Drive serial Number under raidctl?

I have boot disk mirrored using hardware raid i.e raidctl command.
If I want to place an order for a spare drive and keep it at our location for spare, how do I find the disk specification since #format does not reveal this.
The server is T2000 running Solaris 10.
Any help please.

check format to see the size of the disk. From there you can simply place order for the T2000. Let me provide you the part numbers for Sun Fire T2000.
146G 10000 RPM 540-7151
73G 10000 RPM 541-0323 OR 540-6611

And you can check for vendor type like this, fyi
Code:
format
Searching for disks...done


AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <IBM-DMVS18M-0220 cyl 11734 alt 2 hd 10 sec 303>
/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0
1. c0t1d0 <SEAGATE-ST336605LC-2200 cyl 29294 alt 2 hd 4 sec 607>
/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@1,0
Specify disk (enter its number):

1

format> inq
Vendor: SEAGATE
Product: ST336605LC
Revision: 2200

you can TRY to use prtconf to see if it helps

@incredible
this won't work since the drives are under hardware raid control and you can't see the single drive?!

i don't know if the ilom (or alom?) can see the the disk as a fru but it should be worth a try. or maybe the "raidctl" command can help?

Oh thanks for highlighting this...
Anyway, hope the part number provided will be helpful

I was actually able to work around the problem of not knowing the drive information, by removing the disk bay filler and looking down the boot drive sticker/lable and reading the ST number, WWN and rpm.

Thanks everyone
