I wanted to see if I can blink a disk drive :)

There's two backplanes from the LSI card with 8 disks total, da0-da7 and here I can only see the ada0 disk which is not in the backplane enclosure with other disks.

sesutil doesn't find any other disks, also I don't really know how to use it.

sesutil locate [-u /dev/sesN] <disk | sesid | all> [on | off]

I tried sesutil locate /dev/ada0 and it said couldn't find ses id.

When I try the regular disks it just says "usage.."
 
Two things strange. You say ada0 is not in a cage. So why is sesutil even finding it?
So it sounds like sesutil is using the wrong device/cage/address.

I must admit that I have never messed with ses-mgmt but I know it works via i2c.
Have you checked /dev for i2c.. Make sure i2c bus is running.
If that checks out then you can move to comms of ses-mgmt.
 
I guess not :) Is that something I can turn on or is it just broken?
Code: 
➜  /dev i2c -s
Error opening I2C controller (/dev/iic0) for scanning: No such file or directory

I did see some errors during boot.
Code: 
ichsmb0: <Intel Patsburg SMBus controller> port 0x1fe0-0x1fff mem 0xbe0de000-0xbe0de0ff at device 31.3 numa-domain 0 on pci0
pcib0: no PRT entry for 0.31.INTC
ichsmb0: can't get IRQ
device_attach: ichsmb0 attach returned 6

That ada0 disk is now in what used to be a DVD SATA port on the server, I took out the DVD and put a SSD.

I'll read that link you posted first.

This is what I get
