CLI Tools Device-Naming Convention

Language:

The following table lists device names are used with the CLI Tools commands. The character identifier represents all of the nodes that make up the device.

Identifier	Description
`c`	The controller, followed by a unique logical ID.
`r`	The RAID Volume (logical disk), followed by a logical ID name of the volume or disk.
`d`	The disk, followed by the physical disk logical ID name.
`x`	The expander, followed by the unique expander logical ID name.
`j`	The chassis, followed by the unique chassis logical ID name.
`sp_bios`	A system service processor. Note - Use this device identifier with versions of Oracle Hardware Management Pack for Oracle Solaris 11.3 included in Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRUs earlier than SRU10.
`sp`	A system service processor. Note - Use this device identifier with versions of Oracle Hardware Management Pack for Oracle Solaris 11.3 included with Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU10 and later.

All integers used to represent the device are 0 based. Disks are represented by logical ID names assigned by the tool at initialization. The disks are sorted by expander and slot ID to create unique numerical identifiers.

The following are examples of device names:

c1 – Controller 1
c1d2 – Disk with a logical ID 2 on controller 1
c2r1 – RAID 1 on controller 2

Multiple devices can be listed together in a comma-separated list, for example: device1,device2,device3.

The following example shows a raidconfig command for creating a RAID volume with three disks:

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

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