You can do "ls -l" on the /dev/dsk entries to find the physical paths of the disks. You can use that along with some knowledge of the topology of the system to determine which disks are internal. For example, in a T5120 I randomly picked these two disks: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 -> ../../devices/p...@0/p...@0/p...@2/s...@0/s...@0,0:c /dev/dsk/c3txxxd9s2 -> ../../devices/p...@0/p...@0/p...@8/p...@0/p...@9/SUNW,q...@0/f...@0,0/s...@wxxx,9:c I know that the SAN devices are on the other side of a qlogic HBA and the internal disks aren't. The second one has SUNW,qlc in the path so I know that one is on the SAN. In real life, I have a configuration file that lists the paths to the internal disks on all the server models that my jumpstart environment needs to support. A begin script examines the hardware configuration, the configuration file, and some other things and creates a derived profile based on that. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list sysadmin-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
