Appearance of Virtual LUNs in a Guest Domain
The virtual LUN or LUNs that are associated with a virtual SCSI HBA behave as if they are physical LUNs.
A virtual LUN that represents a SCSI disk, for example, appears in the guest domain as a regular disk under /dev/[r]dsk
. The virtual LUN is visible in the output of the format
command because the underlying associated physical LUN is of type disk
. The device path of the virtual LUN can be operated on by other commands, such as prtpicl
and prtconf
.
If the virtual LUN represents a CD or a DVD, its device path is defined in /dev/[r]dsk
. If the virtual LUN represents a tape device, its device path is defined in /dev/rmt
. For commands that can operate on the virtual LUN, see
