As suggested at http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=416264, you can try viewing the disk serial numbers with cfgadm: cfgadm -al -s "select=type(disk),cols=ap_id:info" You may need to power down the system to view the serial numbers printed on the disks to match them up, but it beats guessing.
