Identifying Hardware in EFI

Popy — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 04:11:50 GMT

Hi all,

I have great confusion identifying my disks at EFI level....I really dont know what is evey PUN and LUN combination points to. Below are the details,

I have 6 disks ( all are bootable ) I can see the primary and secondary boot path since it shows directly the HW path and I have no issue booting my server from PRI and ALT, but when it comes with the other 4 disks I am blank...

Here are my disks visible in OS,

disk 0 0/0/0/2/1.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE Optiarc DVD RW AD-5170A
disk 1 0/0/0/2/0.6.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GST373454LC
disk 2 0/0/0/3/0.6.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GST373454LC
disk 3 1/0/0/2/0.6.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GST373454LC
disk 4 1/0/4/1/1.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GST373454LC
disk 5 1/0/4/1/1.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GST373454LC
disk 6 1/0/4/1/1.4.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GST373454LC
disk 7 1/0/4/1/0.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE Optiarc DVD RW AD-5170A

A view of same disks from EFI :

fs0 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|0)/Scsi(Pun6,Lun0)/HD(Part1,SigC37DCDFC-4FD0-11DC-8002-D621

blk5 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|1)/Scsi(Pun2,Lun0)/CDROM(Entry0)
blk6 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|1)/Scsi(Pun2,Lun0)/CDROM(Entry1)
blk7 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(3|0)/Scsi(Pun6,Lun0)

can anyone guide me if I want to boot from disk 6 ( 1/0/4/1/1.4.0 ) which fsN/blkN I have to select ?

Thanks,
Vijayy

Hi,

Try to view in OS using this command
# ioscan -eCdisk

You don't told us the server model.

The pathes are in the manual, but as a workaround with the OS running you can do

ioscan -fne

the "e" will display the EFI pathes too.

Hello Vijay,

>> when it comes with the other 4 disks I am blank

Be careful when dealing with efi, initial map "may not" show the correct number of disks connected to the system.

In efi shell, always remember to issue command: "search all"

Thanks
