Hello, I am curious to know if there is an easy way to guess or identify the device names of disks. Previously the /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 system made sense to me... I had a SATA controller card with 8 ports, and they showed up with the numbers 1-8 in the "t" position of the device name.
But I just built a new system with two LSI SAS HBAs in it, and my device names are along the lines of: /dev/dsk/c0t5000CCA228C0E488d0 I could not find any correlation between that identifier and the a) controller the disk was plugged in to, or b) the port number on the controller. The only way I could make a mapping of device name to controller port was to add one drive at a time, reboot the system, and run "format" to see which new disk name shows up. I'm guessing there's a better way, but I can't find any obvious answer as to how to determine which port on my LSI controller card will correspond with which seemingly random device name. Can anyone offer any suggestions on a way to predict the device naming, or at least get the system to list the disks after I insert one without rebooting? Thank you! -Matthew
