Veritas Enterprise Administrator - Disks Names are different

[cappa1983]

Hi All,

I'm using VEA to administrer a Veritas SFHA 6.2 system (LINUX, two node system), and in VEA when I look at the disks on node1, it shows the expected names e.g.: "sdx" "sdy" "sdy".

On node2, I see the enclosure names e.g.: emc_xxxx

I did run vxdmpadm getsubpaths, and they show exactly the same results set on both nodes.

Is there a way I can change those disks names so that it shows the "sd.." name instead of the enclosure ones?

thanks!

try this on the node that you want to change the disk names from enclosure based to std format

run this command

#vxddladm set namingscheme=osn

then

#vxdisk list
