Hello,
We have many disks per system (more than 20). When a disk falls out I should find the defected disk. When I run fsck or dmesg (Solaris report utility), they just hang.

Could you describe a method (on UNIX or Oracle level) that I (as non-root, dba) can use to identify the defected disk as quick as possible? We have SOLARIS 2.5, but I would thank for a general solution useable on other platforms, as well.

TIA   Bence Toth
