findcmddev
Search for a command device
Windows NT/2000/2003 only
Description
The findcmddev command searches to see if a command device exists
within the range of the specified disk drive numbers. When the command
device exists, the command displays the command device in the format
described in the RM configuration definition file.
This command searches for a command device as a physical drive, a
Logical drive, and a Volume{GUID} for Windows 2000/2003.
If a command device is specified as a logical drive in addition to a Physical
Drive, then a drive letter is assigned to the command device. This drive
letter should be deleted from the list of those available to general users.
The Volume{GUID} must be made by creating a partition, using the disk
manager without the filesystem format option, and is used to keep as the
same command device even though the physical drive numbers are changed
on every reboot in a SAN environment.
