Note This feature is available only if the default disk-naming scheme is set to use operating system-based naming, and the TPD-controlled enclosure does not contain fabric disks.
For disk enclosures that are controlled by third-party drivers (TPD) whose coexistence is supported by an appropriate ASL, the default behavior is to assign device names that are based on the TPD-assigned node names. You can use the vxdmpadm
command to switch between these names and the device names that are known to the operating system:
# vxdmpadm setattr enclosure
enclosure
tpdmode=native|pseudo
The argument to the tpdmode
attribute selects names that are based on those used by the operating system (native
), or TPD-assigned node names (pseudo
).
The use of this command to change between TPD and operating system-based naming is illustrated in the following example for the enclosure named EMC0
:
emcpower10s2 auto:sliced disk1 mydg online
emcpower11s2 auto:sliced disk2 mydg online
emcpower12s2 auto:sliced disk3 mydg online
emcpower13s2 auto:sliced disk4 mydg online
emcpower14s2 auto:sliced disk5 mydg online
emcpower15s2 auto:sliced disk6 mydg online
emcpower16s2 auto:sliced disk7 mydg online
emcpower17s2 auto:sliced disk8 mydg online
emcpower18s2 auto:sliced disk9 mydg online
emcpower19s2 auto:sliced disk10 mydg online
# vxdmpadm setattr enclosure EMC0 tpdmode=native
c6t0d10s2 auto:sliced disk1 mydg online
c6t0d11s2 auto:sliced disk2 mydg online
c6t0d12s2 auto:sliced disk3 mydg online
c6t0d13s2 auto:sliced disk4 mydg online
c6t0d14s2 auto:sliced disk5 mydg online
c6t0d15s2 auto:sliced disk6 mydg online
c6t0d16s2 auto:sliced disk7 mydg online
c6t0d17s2 auto:sliced disk8 mydg online
c6t0d18s2 auto:sliced disk9 mydg online
c6t0d19s2 auto:sliced disk10 mydg online
If tpdmode
is set to native
, the path with the smallest device number is displayed.
