Note: Starting with Ignite-UX version C.7.2.x, the Ignite-UX variables inventory_block_path and
inventory_block_protocols enable you to hide disks from the I/O configuration process, based respectively on the
disk hardware path or the I/O protocol used to access them. This inventory blocking reduces the number of disks
displayed in the selection screens while improving the I/O inventory performance. For more information, see the
“I/O Configuration” section of instl_adm(4).
After selecting a disk on the Root Disk selection screen, you can access the More Info screen, which displays
additional information about a chosen root disk, including the legacy hardware path, WWID, and the associated
persistent and legacy DSFs. This enables you to map the agile view to the legacy naming convention from
previous releases, as follows:
