Hi Beau,

The naming breaks down like this:

c=controller
t=target
d=disk

Some controllers use a target to provide a unique address for each disk.
Others do not use a target and those disks would be named like c8d0 or
c8d1.

The graphic in Figure 5-1 here is slightly askew but describes Solaris
disk naming conventions:

Thanks,

Cindy

So not sue if this is the correct list to email to or not. I am curious to know on my machine I have two hard drive (c8t0d0 and c8t1d0). Can some one explain to me what this exactly means? What does "c8" "t0" and "d0" actually mean. I might have to go back to solaris 101 to understand what this all means.

Thanks,
