The procedure is similar in RHEL 5, you need to do it using "udev" rules. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Le Wen Sent: Wednesday, 17 June 2009 3:44 p.m. To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: fixed drive name Hi list, I want to give some hard drive a fixed name, say,sdb,sdc... In RHEL4, I can handle it using such method: 1. edit /etc/scsi_id.conf, change options=-b to options=-g 2. use command: scsi_id /block/sdb to get the scsi uuid of the hard drive, assume it returns 123456 3. create a rule file under /etc/udev/rules.d, which contains a line like BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT="123456", NAME="sdb%n" 4. OK, each time I restart the server, the drive is fixed to sdb and never changes. However, in RHEL5, I can't do it anyway. So any clue?
