11.31 device files

[Oviwan]

Hey Folks

We have an EVA8000 and two rx3600 with 11.31.
Now we present a disk to the both server.
is there a way to be sure, that the /dev/rdisk/diskxx have the same name on both server? is there a way to rename this device files?

for our environment (ASM etc..) we need the sam e disknames.

Regards

Change the names of device files is done with ioinit

check 'man ioinit'

Thanks

Would be this the correct way to rename the disk205 to disk100

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===============================================================================
disk 205 0/3/1/0.3.0.0.0.0.2 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP HSV200
/dev/dsk/c12t0d2 /dev/rdsk/c12t0d2

$cat infile
0/3/1/0.3.0.0.0.0.2 disk 100
$/sbin/ioinit -f infile -r

Thanks

Oviwan,

Since you are running 11iv3,

What about using this if it is applicable ?
