Correlate WWN Device Names With Physical Locations (probe-scsi-all Command)


Note - If you have access to Oracle Solaris, you might be able to use the diskinfo command instead as a way to determine the device names you need. See Correlate WWN Device Names With Physical Locations (diskinfo Command).
  1. At the OpenBoot prompt, type:
    ok probe-scsi-all
    /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@cLSI,sas@0
     
    FCode Version 1.00.54, MPT Version 2.00, Firmware Version 5.00.17.00
     
    Target 9
     Unit 0   Disk   SEAGATE   ST9300003SSUN3006 0B70   585937500 Blocks, 300 GB
     SASDeviceName 5000c50033438dbb  SASAddress 5000c50033438db9  PhyNum 0
    Target b
     Unit 0   Dusj   SEAGATE  ST930003SSUN300G 0468   585937500 Blocks, 300 GB
     SASDeviceName 5000c50005c15803  SASAddress 5000c50005c15801  PhyNum 1
    Target c
     Unit 0  Elcl Serv device   SUN      NEM Hydra II SOL 0308
     SASAddress 5080020000bb193d  PhyNum 24
     
    /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@0/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@3/storage@2
     Unit 0  Removable Read Only device   AMI     Virtual CDROM   1.00
    
  2. In this output, look for these disk identifiers:
    • LSI,sas@0 – Disk controller (a REM in this example). If the server has more than one disk controller, the target drives associated with each controller are listed following that controller's information.

    • SASDeviceName – WWN that Oracle Solaris recognizes.

    • SASAddress – WWN that OpenBoot references.

    • PhyNum – Physical slot that the drive occupies (the value 0 indicates a drive in HDD slot 0).

  3. Look at the values in this output to construct a logical device name in the cntWWNdn format that is recognized by Oracle Solaris.

    For this example, you construct a name like this to indicate the drive in slot 0.

    • cn = c0

      n is the SAS controller number.

    • tWWN = t5000c50033438dbb

      WWN is the SASDeviceName value.

    • dn = d0

      n is 0 for all embedded SCSI devices.

    The completed logical device name is c0t5000c50033438dbbd0.
