Support for Descriptive Names for Metadevices and Hotspare Pools

This system performance enhancement is new in the Solaris Express 5/06 release.

The rules for defining names for metadevices and hotspare pools have been extended to allow the use of alphanumeric characters. Previously, names for metadevices were restricted to the form “dXXX”, while hotspare pools had to use the form “hspYYY”.

For more information about the acceptable names for metadevices and hotspare pools, see the Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide.
