HORCM_CMD
#dev_name dev_name dev_name
\\.\CMD-30095-250-CL1-A

To allow more flexibility, RAID Manager allows the following format.

For minimum specification. Specifies to use any command device for Serial#30095

\\.\CMD-30095
If Windows has two different array models that share the same serial number, fully define the serial
number, ldev#, port and host group for the CMDDEV.

For under Multi Path Driver. Specifies to use any port as the command device for Serial#30095,
LDEV#250

\\.\CMD-30095-250

For full specification. Specifies the command device for Serial#30095, LDEV#250 connected
to Port CL1-A, Host group#1

\\.\CMD-30095-250-CL1-A-1

Other examples

\\.\CMD-30095-250-CL1-A \\.\CMD-30095-250-CL1
dev_name for UNIX
In UNIX SAN environment, there are situations when the device file name is changed, a failover
operation in UNIX SAN environment or every reboot under Linux when the SAN is reconfigured.
The RAID Manager user needs to find NEW "Device Special File" and change HORCM_CMD
described in the RAID Manager configuration file. Thus, RAID Manager supports the following
naming format specifying Serial#/LDEV#/Port#:HINT as notation of the command device for UNIX:
\\.\CMD-Ser#-ldev#-Port#:HINT

HORCM_CMD

#dev_name dev_name dev_name

\\.\CMD-30095-250-CL1-A-1:/dev/rdsk/

If these names are specified, HORCM finds "\\.\CMD-Serial#-Ldev#-Port#" from the device files
specified by HINT at HORCM start-up. HINT must be specified "directory terminated with '/' on
the device file name" or "directory including device file name pattern" as below, for example:

/dev/rdsk/

→ this finds a specified CMD from /dev/rdsk/* / dev/rdsk/c10

→ this finds a specified CMD from /dev/rdsk/c10* /dev/rhdisk → this
finds a specified CMD from /dev/rhdisk*

The device files discovered during HINT are filtered with the following pattern:

HP-UX: /dev/rdsk/* or /dev/rdisk/disk*

Solaris: /dev/rdsk/*s2

AIX: /dev/rhdisk*

Linux: /dev/sd....

z/Linux: /dev/sd....

MPE/iX: /dev/...

Tru64: /dev/rrz*c or /dev/rdisk/dsk*c or /dev/cport/scp*

IRIX64: /dev/rdsk/*vol or /dev/rdsk/node_wwn/*vol/*

If a HINT is already specified, ":HINT" can be omitted for next command devices, and then a
command device is found from the cached Inquiry information of HORCM for saving unnecessary
device scanning.

HORCM_CMD

#dev_name dev_name dev_name

\\.\CMD-30095-250-CL1:/dev/rdsk/

\\.\CMD-30095-250-CL2
