Power On the Host (Oracle ILOM)
The Netra SPARC T4-1 server uses only one of the two SAS2 RAID controllers on the motherboard. The controller connects to one slot on the disk backplane. The following table shows the PhyNum-to-disk slot mapping.

The following example is based on a Netra SPARC T4-1 server with four hard drives. These hard drives are deployed as four individual storage devices. Controller 1 is attached to these storage devices in the following manner:
Controller 1 is attached to Targets 9, b, c, and d (four individual storage devices).
Target a (is a DVD drive).
Note - For Netra SPARC T4-1 servers, the second field of the device path specifies the controllers: /pci@400/pci@2 = controller 1 and /pci@400/pci@1 = controller 0.

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 = 1
Target = 9
PhyNum = 0
SASDeviceName = 5000cca012b76b40
SASAddress = 5000cca012b76b41
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 2, it has the following values:
Controller = 1
Target = b
PhyNum = 2
SASDeviceName = 5000cca00a4d2ff0
SASAddress = 5000cca00a4d2ff1
