how to assign device names by DMP

how to assign device names by DMP
28 Dec 2006 05:54:24 -0500
Dear Experts,
I have Solaris 9 on sparc and VM 4.0. Solaris box is attached to a raid device.

Solaris names the volumes in the raid as:

c3t220203708ba7d832d0

I'd like to use Veritas DMP and have new virtual devices created as (i.e):

c3tXdy

where X is smaller than 30 and i decide which number to assign.

Can you please help me?

Best Regards
          F.

Volume Manager (and thus DMP) gets the names of the devices from the 
operating system.

So, to name your devices, you will actually have to look at the 
persistent binding option for your HBA (see the documentation for the 
HBA on how to persistently bind the OS c#t#d# to the WWNN)


Once a device is in the volume manager configuration database, you can 
always rename it. See "man vxedit" to see how to rename any object
