SUMMARY: devalias path

I finally got this solved. I only got three replies,
from:
Layton Marvin J NNSY (LaytonMJ@nnsy.navy.mil)
Truhn, Chad M CTR N83-BRANCH (chad.truhn.ctr@navy.mil)
and
Darren Dunham (ddunham@taos.com).

The best answer that helped me track it down (came
from Chad):

I have run into this before, and I wish I could give
you a good way to
find out what it is but I really don't know. What I
do, and normally
works, is type in your path along with sd@ and then
your SCSI ID then
,(comma)0.

Example

/pci@1d,700000/scsi@4@1/sd@3,0

You had the sd@3 on there earlier and if the DVD-ROM
is at SCSI ID 3
then you had it right but just missing the ,0 . You
can find out what
you need to have by your probe-scsi-all command. It
will show you a
number beside the device and that is the number you
will use after the @
sign. You said you tried other combinations so I
don't know if you
tried this or not.

What worked was appending disk@3,0:f to the end of the
devalias path, so using his example, you would have
this:

/pci@1d,700000/scsi@4@1/sd@3,0/disk@3,0:f

Thanks for the help!

I have a Blade 2500 I want to install Solaris 10 on.
 
I don't think the blade is giving me the entire path
to a device. What I have is an external DVD-ROM
drive
that is connected to the onboard SCSI bus. I can
see
the device with a probe-scsi-all, but probe-scsi-all
only returns /pci@1d,700000/scsi@4@1 which I think
is
an imcomplete path. I've tried
/pci@1d,700000/scsi@4,1/sd@3 and that doesn't work.
I've tried other combinations as well.
