Determine Dell Hard Disk Location from Linux

On a Dell server I needed to determine the physical hard drive location for a faulty disk. Within the operating system the disk was mounted as /dev/sdk so I ran:

udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sdk

And from the output I could correlate this with the information in the iDRAC:

So in this example disk 10 on the backplane.
