In order to convert the Solaris ssd naming from sd# to c#t#d#, very useful as in the log files will be showed only the sd# naming, we can use the next simple set of commands to convert them.
# paste -d= <(iostat -x | awk 'NR>2{print $1}') <(iostat -nx | awk 'NR>2{print "/dev/dsk/"$11}')
this the output for some disks:
sd0=/dev/dsk/c0t5000CCA0164B7CDCd0
sd1=/dev/dsk/c0t5000CCA0164BD734d0
sd4=/dev/dsk/c1t0d0
ssd0=/dev/dsk/c4t5000097500015190d6
ssd1=/dev/dsk/c4t5000097500015190d5

# udevinfo -q all -n /dev/sdi
P: /block/sdi
N: sdj
and check which parameters we can use, here is the output Read more...
