Hi all,
I have a very strange problem. I have installed a virtual RHEL6 machine under an
ESXi host using paravirtual disk devices. I need to assign static names to these
disk but I can't.
I have read the following guide form RedHat's knowledge:
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-45628, but it doesn't works for vmware
paravirtual devices.
For example:
[root@hobbiton by-path]# ls -al
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 200 Feb 7 10:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 Feb 7 10:08 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 7 10:08 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 ->
../../sda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 7 10:08 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1 ->
../../sda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 7 10:08 pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part2 ->
../../sda2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 7 10:29 pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 ->
../../sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 7 10:29 pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1 ->
../../sdb1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 7 10:08 pci-0000:04:00.0-scsi-0:0:1:0 ->
../../sdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 7 10:08 pci-0000:0c:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 ->
../../sdd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 7 10:08 pci-0000:14:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 ->
../../sde
I need to rename sdb, sdc, sdd and sde disks. But when I execute scsi_id command,
it doesn't returns any result:
[root@hobbiton by-path]# scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace
--device=/dev/sdb
[root@hobbiton by-path]#
If I use lsilogic driver on these disks instead pvscsi drivers, all works as a
expected but I loose performance.
My question is: how can I assign static device names with udev rules using by-path
or ID_PATH strings??
I need to create lvm volumes with these disks.
Many thanks.
