Enclosure-based naming

Enclosure-based naming operates as follows:

By default, enclosure-based names are persistent, so they do not change after reboot.

If a CVM cluster is symmetric, each node in the cluster accesses the same set of disks. Enclosure-based names provide a consistent naming system so that the device names are the same on each node.

To display the native OS device names of a VM disk (such as mydg01), use the following command:

# vxdisk path | grep diskname
