Persistent Device Naming

Under certain configurations, such as when the Fibre Channel disk is the
boot device of a system, it may be preferable to lock a target disk to a
unit number. LSI Logic/IntraServer FCode lets the system administrator
write a nonvolatile map of IDs to the Fibre Channel controller. The
following is an example of how to map devices in the persistent device
table. Select the controller you want to modify, as follows:

ok show-disks

a) /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk
b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,Ultra2-scsi@1/disk
c) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom
d) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk
e) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ebus@1/fdthree@14,3203f0
q) NO SELECTION

Enter Selection, q to quit: a
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk has been selected.

Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y for creating devalias mydev for
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk

ok select /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2
ok show-children

To clear an entry in the persistent device map, use the clear-persistent
command:

ok 1 clear-persistent
Entry 1 has been cleared

ok show-persistent

ok

Entry 1 has been deleted from the table, and the table is now empty.
