Add vdev_id for JBOD-friendly udev aliases vdev_id parses the file /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf to map a physical path in a storage topology to a channel name. The channel name is combined with a disk enclosure slot number to create an alias that reflects the physical location of the drive. This is particularly helpful when it comes to tasks like replacing failed drives. Slot numbers may also be re-mapped in case the default numbering is unsatisfactory. The drive aliases will be created as symbolic links in /dev/disk/by-vdev. The only currently supported topologies are sas_direct and sas_switch: o sas_direct - a channel is uniquely identified by a PCI slot and a HBA port o sas_switch - a channel is uniquely identified by a SAS switch port A multipath mode is supported in which dm-mpath devices are handled by examining the first running component disk, as reported by 'multipath -l'. In multipath mode the configuration file should contain a channel definition with the same name for each path to a given enclosure. vdev_id can replace the existing zpool_id script on systems where the storage topology conforms to sas_direct or sas_switch. The script could be extended to support other topologies as well. The advantage of vdev_id is that it is driven by a single static input file that can be shared across multiple nodes having a common storage toplogy. zpool_id, on the other hand, requires a unique /etc/zfs/zdev.conf per node and a separate slot-mapping file. However, zpool_id provides the flexibility of using any device names that show up in /dev/disk/by-path, so it may still be needed on some systems. vdev_id's functionality subsumes that of the sas_switch_id script, and it is unlikely that anyone is using it, so sas_switch_id is removed. Finally, /dev/disk/by-vdev is added to the list of directories that 'zpool import' will scan. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #713

.TH vdev_id.conf 5
.SH NAME
vdev_id.conf \- Configuration file for vdev_id
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I vdev_id.conf
is the configuration file for
.BR vdev_id (8).
It controls the default behavior of
.BR vdev_id (8)
while it is mapping a disk device name to an alias.
.PP
The
.I vdev_id.conf
file uses a simple format consisting of a keyword followed by one or
more values on a single line. Any line not beginning with a recognized
keyword is ignored. Comments may optionally begin with a hash
character.
The following keywords and values are used.
.TP
\fIalias\fR <name> <devlink>
Maps a device link in the /dev directory hierarchy to a new device
name. The udev rule defining the device link must have run prior to
.BR vdev_id (8).
A defined alias takes precedence over a topology-derived name, but the
two naming methods can otherwise coexist. For example, one might name
drives in a JBOD with the sas_direct topology while naming an internal
L2ARC device with an alias.
\fIname\fR - the name of the link to the device that will by created in
/dev/disk/by-vdev.
\fIdevlink\fR - the name of the device link that has already been
defined by udev. This may be an absolute path or the base filename.
Add vdev_id for JBOD-friendly udev aliases vdev_id parses the file /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf to map a physical path in a storage topology to a channel name. The channel name is combined with a disk enclosure slot number to create an alias that reflects the physical location of the drive.

The drive aliases will be created as symbolic links in /dev/disk/by-vdev.

\fIpci_slot\fR - specifies the PCI SLOT of the HBA
hosting the disk enclosure being mapped, as found in the output of
.BR lspci (8).
This argument is not used in sas_switch mode.
\fIport\fR - specifies the numeric identifier of the HBA or SAS switch port
connected to the disk enclosure being mapped.
\fIname\fR - specifies the name of the channel.
.TP
\fIslot\fR <old> <new> [channel]
Maps a disk slot number as reported by the operating system to an
alternative slot number. If the \fIchannel\fR parameter is specified
then the mapping is only applied to slots in the named channel,
otherwise the mapping is applied to all channels. The first-specified
\fIslot\fR rule that can match a slot takes precedence. Therefore a
channel-specific mapping for a given slot should generally appear before
a generic mapping for the same slot. In this way a custom mapping may
be applied to a particular channel and a default mapping applied to the
others.

The script could be extended to support other topologies as well. The advantage of vdev_id is that it is driven by a single static input file that can be shared across multiple nodes having a common storage toplogy. zpool_id, on the other hand, requires a unique /etc/zfs/zdev.conf per node and a separate slot-mapping file. However, zpool_id provides the flexibility of using any device names that show up in /dev/disk/by-path, so it may still be needed on some systems. vdev_id's functionality subsumes that of the sas_switch_id script, and it is unlikely that anyone is using it, so sas_switch_id is removed. Finally, /dev/disk/by-vdev is added to the list of directories that 'zpool import' will scan. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #713

Add vdev_id for JBOD-friendly udev aliases vdev_id parses the file /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf to map a physical path in a storage topology to a channel name. The channel name is combined with a disk enclosure slot number to create an alias that reflects the physical location of the drive. This is particularly helpful when it comes to tasks like replacing failed drives. Slot numbers may also be re-mapped in case the default numbering is unsatisfactory. The drive aliases will be created as symbolic links in /dev/disk/by-vdev. The only currently supported topologies are sas_direct and sas_switch: o sas_direct - a channel is uniquely identified by a PCI slot and a HBA port o sas_switch - a channel is uniquely identified by a SAS switch port A multipath mode is supported in which dm-mpath devices are handled by examining the first running component disk, as reported by 'multipath -l'. In multipath mode the configuration file should contain a channel definition with the same name for each path to a given enclosure. vdev_id can replace the existing zpool_id script on systems where the storage topology conforms to sas_direct or sas_switch.
