Changing the Name of an Open SCSI Device
3. Use the SCF NAMES command to verify that the Open SCSI device has been
removed from the system configuration database. For example:
-> NAMES $ZZSTO, SUB SCSI
Refer to the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem for more detailed
information.
Changing the Name of an Open SCSI Device
You cannot simply rename an Open SCSI device; to change the name of a configured
Open SCSI device, you must use the SCF DELETE command to delete the Open SCSI
device with the old name and then use the SCF ADD command to add the same Open
SCSI device specifying the new name. For example, to change the name of $DEV0 to
$DEV2:
1. Verify that the Open SCSI device whose name is to be changed is in the STOPPED
state. For example:
-> STATUS SCSI $DEV0
2. Issue the SCF DELETE and SCF ADD commands to change the name of the Open
SCSI device. For example:
-> DELETE SCSI $DEV0
-> ADD SCSI $DEV2, SENDTO STORAGE, PRIMARYLOCATION (2,1,55),&
-> PRIMARYCPU 2, BACKUPCPU 3, SCSIID 2
3. Use the SCF NAMES command to verify that the Open SCSI device is in the
system configuration database with the new name. For example:
-> NAMES $ZZSTO, SUB SCSI
For complete details about the DELETE SCSI and ADD SCSI commands including
command syntax, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
