fixed drive name

[Geofrey Rainey]

The process is quite different and way more complicated. I'd suggest
finding some good doco and having a thorough read. The Oracle Metalink
site has some
Great documentation on this but if you don't have Metalink access you
won't
Be able to view that doco. No doubt Redhat have some good doco on this.

Yes, I did the similar procedure in RHEL5 using UDEV, but failed.

The procedure is similar in RHEL 5, you need to do it using "udev"
rules.

Hi list,

 I want to give some hard drive a fixed name, say,sdb,sdc...

 In RHEL4, I can handle it using such method:
 1. edit /etc/scsi_id.conf, change options=-b to options=-g
 2. use command: scsi_id /block/sdb to get the scsi uuid of the hard 
drive, assume it returns 123456
 3. create a rule file under /etc/udev/rules.d, which contains a line
like
    BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT="123456", NAME="sdb%n"
 4. OK, each time I restart the server, the drive is fixed to sdb and 
never changes.

However, in RHEL5, I can't do it anyway. So any clue?

Thanks
