LSI 40909G-S 3.1.5 Persistent Device Naming

Installing the Sun SPARCSolaris Fusion-MPT™ Dr ivers 3-5

If the FC disks on your LSI Logic/IntraServer adapter are not identiﬁed

by your system, check the following:

1. Are all the FC cables correctly connected to the disk enclosure?

2. Is the disk enclosure powered up?

3. If the external disk enclosure required a loopback connector, is the

loopback connector correctly installed?

3.1.5 Persistent Device Naming

Under certain conﬁgurations, such as when the FC disk is the boot

device of a system, it may be preferableto lock a target disk to a unit

number. LSI Logic/IntraServer Fcode allows the system administratorto

write a nonvolatile map of IDs to the FC controller. The followingis an

example of how to map devices in the persistent device table.

Select the controller you want to modify,as shown in Figure 3.3:
