Hi Brian,
Is the pool exported before the update/upgrade of PowerPath software?
This recommended practice might help the resulting devices to be more
coherent.
If the format utility sees the devices the same way as ZFS, then I don't
see how ZFS can rename the devices.
If the format utility sees the correct device names, then you might see
if the device info resolves by exporting/importing the pool, even after
the upgrade.
Thanks,
Cindy

On some machines running PowerPath, there's sometimes issues after an
update/upgrade of the PowerPath software. Sometimes the pseudo devices get
remapped and change names. ZFS appears to handle it OK, however sometimes it
then references half native device names and half the emcpower pseudo device
names. So the SA can easily be confused.
Is there a way to tell ZFS which device names to use? Is there a way to change
which devices are referenced in a current pool?
I know about the "-d" option to zpool, however to use the names in /dev/dsk can
lead to unpredictable results (due to unpredictable SA's).
