Discovering the association between enclosure-based disk names and OS-based disk names

 To discover the association between enclosure-based disk names and OS-based disk names

• If you enable enclosure-based naming, and use the vxprint command to display the structure of a volume, it shows enclosure-based disk device names (disk access names) rather than hdx or sdx c#t#d# names. To discover the hdisk# names that are associated with a given enclosure-based disk name, use either of the following commands:

  # vxdisk list enclosure-based_name

  # vxdmpadm getsubpaths dmpnodename=enclosure-based_name

  For example, to find the physical device that is associated with disk ENC0_21, the appropriate commands would be:

  # vxdisk list ENC0_21

  # vxdmpadm getsubpaths dmpnodename=ENC0_21

  To obtain the full pathname for the block and character disk device from these commands, append the displayed device name to /dev/vx/dmp or /dev/vx/rdmp.
