.TH vdev_id.conf 5
.SH NAME
vdev_id.conf \- Configuration file for vdev_id
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I vdev_id.conf
is the configuration file for
.BR vdev_id (8).
It controls the default behavior of
.BR vdev_id (8)
while it is mapping a disk device name to an alias.
.PP
The
.I vdev_id.conf
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.
The following keywords and values are used.
.TP
\fIchannel\fR [pci_slot] <port> <name>
Maps a physical path to a channel name (typically representing a single
disk enclosure).
\fIpci_slot\fR - specifies the PCI SLOT of the HBA
hosting the disk enclosure being mapped, as found in the output of
.BR lspci (8).
This argument is not used in sas_switch mode.
\fIport\fR - specifies the numeric identifier of the HBA or SAS switch port
connected to the disk enclosure being mapped.
\fIname\fR - specifies the name of the channel.
.TP
\fIslot\fR <old> <new>
Maps a disk slot number as reported by the operating system
to an alternative slot number.
.TP
\fImultipath\fR <yes|no>
Specifies whether
.BR vdev_id (8)
will handle only dm-multipath devices. If set to "yes" then
.BR vdev_id (8)
will examine the first running component disk of a dm-multipath
device as listed by the
.BR multipath (8)
command to determine the physical path.
.TP
\fItopology\fR <sas_direct|sas_switch>
Identifies a physical topology that governs how physical paths are
mapped to channels.
\fIsas_direct\fR - in this mode a channel is uniquely identified by
a PCI slot and a HBA port number
\fIsas_switch\fR - in this mode a channel is uniquely identified by
a SAS switch port number
.TP
\fIphys_per_port\fR <num>
Specifies the number of PHY devices are associated with a SAS HBA port or SAS
switch port.
.BR vdev_id (8)
internally uses this value to determine which HBA or switch port a
device is connected to. The default is 4.
.SH EXAMPLES

arbitrary slot re-mapping.
