I got a lot of responses to my question about disks, I will post a SUMMARY as soon as I understand everything I'm reading (could be a while), but I now have a further question. I assume that a device that is named for example rzb16 is named this way so the system will look at it and know exactly which bus target and lun to look for--and if the disk is named incorrectly it will not work. The reason I'm asking is because 8 or our disks are definitely on bus 3 (determined from the uerf -r -R command), and the unit name for all these disks are D100 through D107. So, the device name for unit D105 should be:
(8*3)+1=25...rzf25, correct? I hope this is NOT correct, because if I do the command: file /dev/rrz*c I get a whole bunch of rz24 devices and they sure look like they are in the HSG80:
/dev/rrzd24c: character special ( 8 / 49346 ) SCSI # 3 HSG80 disk #195
(SCSI ID # 0 ) (SCSI LUN # 3 )
there are also a lot of the rz25 devices listed, but they do not seem active:
/dev/rrzd25c: character special ( 8 / 50370 )
Anyway, if it is named incorrectly, how can it be working? It's working fine. I'm so confused....
