[OpenIndiana-discuss] Weird device naming with new HBA

Hi,

I just installed a new LSI 9200-8E SAS HBA which controls an IBM EXP2524 
enclosure. Formerly an IBM M5025 RAID-controller did this. With the 
M5025 controller (also LSI) I got the normal device names in Solaris, 
like c2t0d0 up to c2t23d0.

With the new controller, device names are ridiculous:
c5t5000C5002C21BAF9d0
c5t5000C5002C21C3C9d0
c5t5000C5002C21D0DDd0
c5t5000C5002C21D98Dd0
and so forth, all 24 disks.

Does anyone know what causes this? I haven't looked into it too much 
yet, will do tomorrow.


Regards,
Gertjan Oude Lohuis
