Thanks to several ppl who responded, namely Mohamed K.
Ahmed, Joseph A Senulis & Binkley Robert. Binkley
attached his "cheat sheet" of a collection of
commands, which i found useful ,and would be
beneficial to someone else maybe, so i will attach it,
he agreed to share. (MS Excel though!)

[Opps, could not attach the MSExcel file, got rejected
submission to tru64 email back----sorry]

I did not get quiet the answer i was hoping for....so
it seems there is no such utility as "locate" on hsz's
for the SWXCR. Only way would be to move around my
machines, open it up, trace the cables, to figure out
which disk is bad <0,4>, which considering the
location, will be such a pain for i will have to
comein someday on a weekend to unplug and do all this.

Answer Given ::
The <0,4> means that the disk in question is on
channel 0,target 4. That is, if you have a single
channel RAID controller, the only choice is channel 0.
 If you have a 3 channel RAID controller, it is
the first channel. Target 4 means that it is the
fifth drive in the shelf, with the first drive being
in slot/target 0 and the power supply being in slot 7
(for external shelves).

_Thanks
