[illumos-Discuss] Finding WWN vs attachment

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

Hi all

I have asked about this on the OI list, but I guess I should try here as well

I had an issue with timeouts with an LSI 6800/1068i controller. This seemed to be an issue with either the controller or the driver. With the new LSI 9200 controller, a new driver, mpt2, is used. This means that my former cxtxdx devices have turned into cxtWWNdx devices. With both disk chassises, one 2U and one 4U, both from SuperMicro, I can find no mapping whatsoever between physical slot and their WWN. For the WD drives, that's somewhat doable, since the drives are labelled with their respecive WWN, but for the Seagates and Hitatchis, it's a bit worse.

So, back to square one, how the hell can I find a mapping between disk and slot? Some say this is supposed to work on Nexenta, with the same hardware, but has Nexenta released the code for this? Do they have to release the code, as would be the case with GPL? Will they release any code if asked?

Btw, luxadm doesn't work on these chassises either...

Here's more info - output from prtpicl and fmtopo:  http://pastebin.com/xtJ7R0TY

Thanks in advance for any constructive input on this!

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards
