Locate / Find / Identify a disk drive

In my new server, by default, multipath IO is enabled. I tried and failed to disable it. All my disks have device names like c0t5000C5003424396Bd0 instead of c0t0d0. This makes it very difficult to find a physical drive based on its device name...
I installed the hardware management pack. At first it was very promising. I browse to http://machine-ilom and look under the storage tab, and it tells me a slot number and a corresponding device name, for the first two drives in the system. (At the time I only had two drives in the system.) I thought I had a solution ... And then I added the other 10 drives. Unfortunately, they don't appear in the ILOM storage tab using their device names. They appear as "02000000:3" and so on. I'll try to attach a screen shot to make this more clear. But in any event, it's not giving me the map of devicename <==> physical slot.
