Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM)
The SPARC T4-4 server has two REM cards plugged into the motherboard. These modules are referred to as controllers 0 and 1. Each SAS controller is connected to a separate four-slot disk backplane. The following table shows the PhyNum-to-disk slot mapping for the two four-slot SPARC T4-4 backplanes.
Table 7 SAS2 Controller Port Mapping for the SPARC T4-4 Disk Backplane
|
This table shows that ports 0-3 of controller 0 are connected to backplane slots 0-3 and ports 0-3 of controller 1 are connected to slots 4-7.
The following example is based on a SPARC T4-4 server with two CPUs and eight hard drives. These hard drives are deployed as six individual storage devices and a virtual drive that consists of two hard drives configured as a RAID volume. Controllers 0 and 1 are attached to these storage devices in the following manner:
Controller 0 is attached to Targets 9 and a (two individual storage devices).
Controller 0 is also attached to Target 457 (a RAID volume).
Controller 1 is attached to Targets 9, a, b, and c (four individual storage devices).
Note - OBP uses a different device path for SAS controller 1 in SPARC T4-4 servers, depending on whether the server has four processors or two processors.The path for SAS controller 0 is the same for both processor configurations.

In this example, the controller ports are attached to the hard drives in the following manner:
|
Note - Target values are not static. The same storage device can appear in two consecutive probe-scsi-all listings with different Target values.
The default boot device has the following values:
Controller = 0
Target = 9
PhyNum = 0
SASDeviceName = 5000cca00abcede0
SASAddress = 5000cca00abcede1
If you want to specify another drive to be the boot device, find its PhyNum value in the output and use the SASDeviceName assigned to that device. For example, if you want to use the hard drive in disk slot 1, it has the following values:
Controller = 0
Target = a
PhyNum = 1
SASDeviceName = 5000cca00abc51a8
SASAddress = 5000cca00abc51a9
