.Sh NAME
.Nm vdev_id.conf
.Nd configuration file for vdev_id(8)
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is the configuration file for
.Xr vdev_id 8 .
It controls the default behavior of
.Xr vdev_id 8
while it is mapping a disk device name to an alias.
.Pp
The
.Nm
file uses a simple format consisting of a keyword followed by one or
more values on a single line.
Any line not beginning with a recognized keyword is ignored.
Comments may optionally begin with a hash character.
.Pp
The following keywords and values are used.
.Bl -tag -width "-h"
.It Sy alias Ar name Ar devlink
Maps a device link in the
.Pa /dev
directory hierarchy to a new device name.
The udev rule defining the device link must have run prior to
.Xr vdev_id 8 .
A defined alias takes precedence over a topology-derived name, but the
two naming methods can otherwise coexist.
For example, one might name drives in a JBOD with the
.Sy sas_direct
topology while naming an internal L2ARC device with an alias.
.Pp
.Ar name
is the name of the link to the device that will by created under
.Pa /dev/disk/by-vdev .
.Pp
.Ar devlink
is the name of the device link that has already been
defined by udev.
This may be an absolute path or the base filename.
.
.It Sy channel [ Ns Ar pci_slot ] Ar port Ar name
Maps a physical path to a channel name (typically representing a single
disk enclosure).
.
.It Sy enclosure_symlinks Sy yes Ns | Ns Sy no
Additionally create
.Pa /dev/by-enclosure
symlinks to the disk enclosure
.Em sg
devices using the naming scheme from
.Pa vdev_id.conf .
.Sy enclosure_symlinks
is only allowed for
.Sy sas_direct
mode.
.
.It Sy enclosure_symlinks_prefix Ar prefix
Specify the prefix for the enclosure symlinks in the form
.Pa /dev/by-enclosure/ Ns Ao Ar prefix Ac Ns - Ns Ao Ar channel Ac Ns Aq Ar num
.Pp
Defaults to
.Dq Em enc .
.
.It Sy slot Ar prefix Ar new Op Ar channel
Maps a disk slot number as reported by the operating system to an
alternative slot number.
If the
.Ar channel
parameter is specified
then the mapping is only applied to slots in the named channel,
otherwise the mapping is applied to all channels.
The first-specified
.Ar slot
rule that can match a slot takes precedence.
Therefore a channel-specific mapping for a given slot should generally appear
before a generic mapping for the same slot.
In this way a custom mapping may be applied to a particular channel
and a default mapping applied to the others.
.
.It Sy multipath Sy yes Ns | Ns Sy no
Specifies whether
.Xr vdev_id 8
will handle only dm-multipath devices.
If set to
.Sy yes
then
.Xr vdev_id 8
will examine the first running component disk of a dm-multipath
device as provided by the driver command to determine the physical path.
.
.It Sy topology Sy sas_direct Ns | Ns Sy sas_switch Ns | Ns Sy scsi
Identifies a physical topology that governs how physical paths are
mapped to channels:
.Bl -tag -compact -width "sas_direct and scsi"
.It Sy sas_direct No and Sy scsi
channels are uniquely identified by a PCI slot and HBA port number
.It Sy sas_switch
channels are uniquely identified by a SAS switch port number
.El
.
.It Sy phys_per_port Ar num
Specifies the number of PHY devices associated with a SAS HBA port or SAS
switch port.
.Xr vdev_id 8
internally uses this value to determine which HBA or switch port a
device is connected to.
The default is
.Sy 4 .
.
.It Sy slot Sy bay Ns | Ns Sy phy Ns | Ns Sy port Ns | Ns Sy id Ns | Ns Sy lun Ns | Ns Sy ses
Specifies from which element of a SAS identifier the slot number is
taken.
The default is
.Sy bay :
.Bl -tag -compact -width "port"
.It Sy bay
read the slot number from the bay identifier.
.It Sy phy
read the slot number from the phy identifier.
.It Sy port
use the SAS port as the slot number.
.It Sy id
use the scsi id as the slot number.
.It Sy lun
use the scsi lun as the slot number.
.It Sy ses
use the SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) enclosure device slot number,
as reported by
.Xr sg_ses 8 .
Intended for use only on systems where
.Sy bay
is unsupported,
noting that
.Sy port
and
.Sy id
may be unstable across disk replacement.

.Sh EXAMPLES
A non-multipath configuration with direct-attached SAS enclosures and an
arbitrary slot re-mapping:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
multipath no
topology sas_direct
phys_per_port 4
slot bay
# PCI_SLOT HBA PORT CHANNEL NAME
channel 85:00.0 1 A
channel 85:00.0 0 B
channel 86:00.0 1 C
channel 86:00.0 0 D
# Custom mapping for Channel A
# Linux Mapped
# Slot Slot Channel
slot 1 7 A
slot 2 10 A
slot 3 3 A
slot 4 6 A
# Default mapping for B, C, and D
slot 1 4
slot 2 2
slot 3 1
slot 4 3
.Ed
.Pp
A SAS-switch topology.
Note, that the
.Ar channel
keyword takes only two arguments in this example:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
topology sas_switch
# SWITCH PORT CHANNEL NAME
channel 1 A
channel 2 B
channel 3 C
channel 4 D
.Ed
.Pp
A multipath configuration.
Note that channel names have multiple definitions - one per physical path:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
multipath yes
# PCI_SLOT HBA PORT CHANNEL NAME
channel 85:00.0 1 A
channel 85:00.0 0 B
channel 86:00.0 1 A
channel 86:00.0 0 B
.Ed
.Pp
A configuration with enclosure_symlinks enabled:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
multipath yes
enclosure_symlinks yes
# PCI_ID HBA PORT CHANNEL NAME
channel 05:00.0 1 U
channel 05:00.0 0 L
channel 06:00.0 1 U
channel 06:00.0 0 L
.Ed
In addition to the disks symlinks, this configuration will create:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
/dev/by-enclosure/enc-L0
/dev/by-enclosure/enc-L1
/dev/by-enclosure/enc-U0
/dev/by-enclosure/enc-U1
.Ed
.Pp
A configuration using device link aliases:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
# by-vdev
# name fully qualified or base name of device link
alias d1 /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c5002de3b9ca
alias d2 wwn-0x5000c5002def789e
