Assigning user-friendly device identifiers and aliases for ease of
inventory
Device identifiers and aliases can be assigned in a way to simplify device inventory for instance by
integrating the usage and the asset inventory number in the identifier or alias. User-friendly device
identifiers can only be set for devices supporting the SET DEVICE IDENTIFIER and REPORT DEVICE
IDENTIFIER SCSI commands. In this case the identifier resides on non volatile memory on the device
and can be queried by all systems accessing the device.
An alias is a settable attribute that can be assigned to any device. It is stored locally on the system
registry. Therefore it must be set on each system accessing the device.
To assign the following user-friendly device identifier to disk device disk0: “Engineering - XPD0890-0”
# scsimgr -f set_devid -D /dev/rdisk/disk0 "Engineering - XPD0890-1"
scsimgr: Device Identifier successfully set
To display the device identifier assigned to disk device disk0:
# scsimgr get_devid -D /dev/rdisk/disk0
Device Identifier for /dev/rdisk/disk0 = Engineering - XPD0890-1
To display device identifiers for all devices in a scriptable output format:
# scsimgr -p get_devid all_lun
/dev/rdisk/disk0: Engineering - XPD0890-1
/dev/rdisk/disk1:
/dev/rdisk/disk2: PQS - XPD0893-2
/dev/rdisk/disk0: Engineering - XPD0890-2
Note: If the device does not support the SET DEVICE IDENTIFIER and REPORT DEVICE IDENTIFIER
SCSI commands, and you attempt to set or get the device identifier, scsimgr will display an error
message as shown in the output below
