Hi,Good luck on figuring out which disks are internal... without detailed I/O bus/fabric topologies for every supported platform. I don't believe WWIDs guarantee that, or I've missed something (again).
For SPARC how about the path(s) listed in boot-device by the OBP?For x86 is it possible to determine which disk the system would boot from by default?

All (especially Dave and Sanjay), One piece of functionality the TargetController class I am writing will provide is to allow an initial disk (or disks) to be selected for the install. In the interactive installers, this will be the disk initially highlighted; in AI it will be the disk(s) selected if nothing is specified in the manifest. However, I am not sure of exactly what criteria to use. So, my questions are: - is there one set of criteria that will be suitable for all install clients? - what are those criteria? It seems to be some combination of: - 1st discovered disk with a Solaris2 partition - 1st discovered disk with the "boot_disk" keyword - 1st discovered disk that is big enough - 1st discovered disk that is physically internal to the machine (using WWIDs) - 1st discovered disk - etc Can you give some guidance on this? - Dermot _______________________________________________ caiman-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss
