92 Administering disks
Changing the disk-naming scheme
Alternatively, you can change the naming scheme from the command line. The
following commands select enclosure-based and operating system-based
naming respectively:
# vxddladm set namingscheme=ebn [persistence={yes|no}]
# vxddladm set namingscheme=osn [mode={default|legacy|new}] \
[persistence={yes|no}]
The optional persistence argument allows you to select whether the
DDL-assigned names of disk devices that are displayed by VxVM remain
unchanged after disk hardware has been reconfigured and the system rebooted.
By default, both enclosure-based naming and operating system-based naming
are persistent.
The following examples illustrate the use of
vxddladm set namingscheme
command:
# vxddladm set namingscheme=osn mode=default
# vxdmpadm getlungroup dmpnodename=c1t65d0
NAME STATE ENCLR-TYPE PATHS ENBL DSBL ENCLR-NAME
