CLI Tools Device-Naming Convention

User-friendly, fully qualified device names are used with the CLI commands. The single characters represent all of the nodes that make up the device as follows:

Character
Description
c
Controller — Using a unique logical ID.
r
RAID Volume (logical disk) — The logical ID name of the volume or disk.
d
Disk — The physical disk logical ID name.
x
Expander — The unique expander logical ID name.
j
Chassis — The unique chassis logical ID name.

All integers used to represent the device are 0 based. Disks are represented by a logical ID name, assigned by the tool at initialization. The disks are sorted by expander, and slot ID, to come up with a unique numerical identifier. The numbering is sequential.

Here are examples of device names:

Multiple devices can be listed together in a comma-separated list, for example: dev1,dev2,dev3.

Here is an example from RAIDconfig when you create a RAID volume with three disks:

./raidconfig create --disks c1d2,c1d4,c1d5 --level 1

The following shows an implementation of the disk-naming scheme.
