How to change device names?
807557May 2 2007 — edited May 8 2007This questions revolves around three V490s.
- All are connected to the same raid.
- All have cards in the same slots.
- One box had only 1 internal drive, two came with 2 internal drives.
- All have stmsboot enabled.
- When doing a format, 2 boxes show the paths to be the same (ie, c6txxxxx), 1 box shows the path to be different (ie, c4txxxx).
How do I go about changing the device name so that the c4txxx on the one box matches the c6txxxx devices name on the other two boxes?
- I have inserted a secondary drive into the 1 box, rebooted with -r. No difference.
- I removed the path_to_inst, rm c4txxx* entries from /dev/[r]dsk, and rebooted with -ras options. No difference.
- I manually edited the path_to_inst to use same device numbers (entry in 2nd column) as is used in the other 2 boxes' path_to_inst files, rm c4txxx* entries from /dev/[r]dsk, rebooted -r. Still no difference.
- I tried using a path_to_inst direct from one of the 2 boxes that have the matching device names. No difference.
I'm quickly running out of options. The device names are supposed to be the same for the Oracle ASM application. Anyone have any ideas or experiences they can share concerning this matter? Thanks.
