Chapter 2 Configuring and Upgrading the System
To operate the internal disk, use the kernel device names. The kernel device name is decided by being
detected by system when the disk is inserted or system is booted. The kernel device name is displayed as
“vmhba
n
:C0:T
x
:L0”.
The “
n
” of “vmhba
n
” represents the last digit of I/O module (10, 11). ”
x
” of "Tx" represents a target number
larger than 0, and it is assigned by detection order.
You can confirm the kernel device name corresponding to the slot by using “/opt/ft/bin/ftsmaint” command.
If you need to confirm the kernel device name of internal disk installed in the slot0 of I/O module 0 (10), run
the following command. In the following example, the kernel device name is vmhba0:C0:T0:L0.
# /opt/ft/bin/ftsmaint ls 10/40/1

To configure the redundant configuration, use “esxcli storage mpm” command. On this occasion, the RAID
device name is expressed as “mpm
n
”(“
n
” is 0~7).
