The fields in the lutab entries are described as follows:

BE_id

A unique, internally generated id for a BE.

BE_name

The user-assigned name of a BE.

0

BE_id

root_slice

Designation of the root slice.

root_device or mirror

root_device

On a system on which the Solaris Volume Manager software is running, this field identifies the physical slice (partition) on a disk on which the root mirror resides. On a system not running Solaris Volume Manager, this field matches the root_device field in line 2.

2

Indicates third of three lines.
