NOTE: Inventory blocking may be used to reduce the time required to discover devices during Ignite-UX start-up. Devices blocked from inventory will not be listed in the Disk Selection dialog boxes. For more information on using Ignite-UX variables such as inventory_block_path and inventory_block_protocols, see instl_adm(4), “Controlling the I/O configuration process” (page 81), and “Additional... button” (page 124). For more information on the agile naming model, see Figure 18 (page 72).

If you have a SAS device, physical locations will be displayed in the Disk Selection – Root Disk dialog box as shown in Figure 21 (page 75).

To get a concise listing of all the paths for a single device, select the path of interest and then click the More Info button, or use the Disks/Paths View. If a LUN has multiple paths, you may select any of them to get to the same More Info screen. For example, you may select either of the lunpath hardware paths below since they both reference the same LUN.

0/0/6/0/0.0x50060b000019c8a6.0x4001000000000000

0/0/10/0/0.0x50060b000019c8a6.0x4001000000000000

Use the More Info screen to help make the transition from legacy hardware paths to the lunpath hardware paths. The More Info screen supplies details about a LUN to help you verify that the selected LUN is the one intended. Note that the legacy hardware path is also shown to the very right in the Path/Location window of the Disk Selection dialog box – use horizontal scrolling to see it.
