ZFS vdev naming?


I have no idea what is the rationale behind naming the vdev (virtual devices) used while creating zfs pools in Solaris. Suppose, I have a disk c4d0, what is meant by c4d0p0 and c4d0s0? And, how would I know what to use with ZFS commands. I am terribly confused since I keep getting "invalid vdev specified". Any pointers?


Solution

  • c4d0s0 = controller 4, disk 0, slice 0
