The SPARC T4-1 server has two SAS2 RAID controllers on the motherboard. Each controller is connected to four slots on the disk backplane. The following table shows the PhyNum-to-disk slot mapping for the eight-slot SPARC T4-1 backplane.
Table 9 SAS2 Controller Port Mapping for the SPARC T4-1 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 T4-1 server with eight hard drives. These hard drives are deployed as six individual storage devices and a virtual drive. The virtual drive 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 b (two individual storage devices).
Controller 0 is also attached to Target 523 (a RAID volume).
Controller 1 is attached to Targets 9, b, c, and d (four individual storage devices).
Controller 1 is also attached to Target a (a DVD unit).
Note - For SPARC T4-1 servers, the second field of the device path specifies the controllers: /pci@400/pci@1 = controller 0 and /pci@400/pci@2 = controller 1.

In this example, the controller ports are attached to the hard drives and the DVD 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 = 5000cca00a75dcac
SASAddress = 5000cca00a75dcad
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 5, it has the following values:
Controller = 1
Target = b
PhyNum = 1
SASDeviceName = 5000cca00a76e380
SASAddress = 5000cca00a76e381
