Drive paths in Uefi | HP nPartitions (nPars) manual

Drive paths in UEFI

Devices in the server blade are represented by device paths in the UEFI shell. Each internal SAS drive could be configured either as:

•RAID mode

•HBA (raw) mode

NOTE: A SAS drive in RAID mode is identified by "Scsi" in the device path A SAS drive in HBA mode is identified by “SAS” in the device path.

NOTE: Unlike parallel SCSI, you cannot correlate UEFI device paths to internal SAS disk drive bays with SAS regardless of RAID/HBA mode. The UEFI device paths currently do not contain any information that could be used to determine the physical location of the drives.

Device	Path format
PCIe root bridge device path	UID
node

Hard drive partition device	HD
path	(Partition,Type,Signature)
	(Partition,Type,Signature)

CD-ROM / DVD-ROM	CDROM(Entry)
partition device path

SAS(0x5000C500037688B9,0x0,0x1,NoTopology,0,0,0, 0x0) )/HD (1,GPT,27C34F01-9F1E-11DE-A0BB-AA000400FEFF)

(HBA mode)

PcieRoot(0x30304352)/Pci(0x1D,0x7)/

USB(0x3,0x0)/CDROM(0x1)

NOTE: Everything after "Scsi" or "SAS" in the output can vary because each SAS drive/partition is unique
