Have a R710 running RHEL4.8 with a internal H700 supporting two virtual drives using internal disks and a H800 supporting two virtual drives in an external MD1200 enclosure. It seems that the device name (/dev/sd?) that is assigned to each virtual drive is somewhat arbitrary. It was in order of

The recommendations I've seen are to avoid using /dev/sdx for exactly this reason. Instead you can use either file system labels or otherwise persistent names generated by udev based on parameters that won't change. -- Thank You Jefferson Cowart Network and Systems Administrator Claremont

Alex and others - Thanks. I think I will go with LVM. It has some nice other properties as well. I assume that making a few large virtual disks (mostly segregated by disk type and enclosure location) and using LVM to slice and dice is the way to go? Thx, Ken --- Jefferson

Dell is planning a release to address this issue but no accurate date has been supplied as yet. For anyone still following, there is still no ETA on the firmware fix (i.e. it probably won't happen.) So much for Dell-branded drives being more reliable and better tested than the non-Dell
