sd.conf entries

2007-12-25 6:58:00

Hello List,

Just a quick question. I recall in years past that if sd.conf was
pre-populated with entries that a boot time delay penalty would occur
which was supposed to be something like 3 seconds per lun for luns
that really weren't available.

My question is does solaris and the sd driver still behave this way?
With a modern SAN array this behaviour wouldn't make a lot of sense
because with the HBA logged in to the array port and bound to say scsi
target 80 the scsi layer on solaris could simply issue a report luns
command rather than probing for luns just because they were listed in
sd.conf.

Can anyone please clear this up for me.

Regards,
Vic
