Ignite-UX Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i (B3921-90079, October 2013)

NOTE: Inventory blocking may be used to reduce the time required to discover devices during
Ignite-UX start-up. Devices blocked from inventory will not be listed in the Disk Selection dialog
boxes. For more information on using Ignite-UX variables such as inventory_block_path and
inventory_block_protocols, see instl_adm(4), “Controlling the I/O Configuration Process”
(page 81), and “Additional... Button” (page 124). For more information on the agile naming model,
see Figure 18 (page 72).
If you have a SAS device, physical locations will be displayed in the Disk Selection – Root Disk
dialog box as shown in Figure 21 (page 75).

To get a concise listing of all the paths for a single device, select the path of interest and then click
the More Info button, or use the Disks/Paths View. If a LUN has multiple paths, you may select any
of them to get to the same More Info screen. For example, you may select either of the lunpath
hardware paths below since they both reference the same LUN.
0/0/6/0/0.0x50060b000019c8a6.0x4001000000000000
0/0/10/0/0.0x50060b000019c8a6.0x4001000000000000
Use the More Info screen to help make the transition from legacy hardware paths to the lunpath
hardware paths. The More Info screen supplies details about a LUN to help you verify that the
selected LUN is the one intended. Note that the legacy hardware path is also shown to the very
right in the Path/Location window of the Disk Selection dialog box – use horizontal scrolling to
see it.
