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

.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
|
|
\fIchannel\fR [pci_slot] <port> <name>
|
|
Maps a physical path to a channel name (typically representing a single
|
|
disk enclosure).
|
|
|
|
\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>
|
|
Maps a disk slot number as reported by the operating system
|
|
to an alternative slot number.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fImultipath\fR <yes|no>
|
|
Specifies whether
|
|
.BR vdev_id (8)
|
|
will handle only dm-multipath devices. If set to "yes" then
|
|
.BR vdev_id (8)
|
|
will examine the first running component disk of a dm-multipath
|
|
device as listed by the
|
|
.BR multipath (8)
|
|
command to determine the physical path.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fItopology\fR <sas_direct|sas_switch>
|
|
Identifies a physical topology that governs how physical paths are
|
|
mapped to channels.
|
|
|
|
\fIsas_direct\fR - in this mode a channel is uniquely identified by
|
|
a PCI slot and a HBA port number
|
|
|
|
\fIsas_switch\fR - in this mode a channel is uniquely identified by
|
|
a SAS switch port number
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIphys_per_port\fR <num>
|
|
Specifies the number of PHY devices are associated with a SAS HBA port or SAS
|
|
switch port.
|
|
.BR vdev_id (8)
|
|
internally uses this value to determine which HBA or switch port a
|
|
device is connected to. The default is 4.
|
|
