After working with Red Hat and them contacting Sun support, we figured out there is no way to reorder the disks. They were able to explain that the "Sun Universal Xport" device is a default device that appears only when no other arrays/disks are configured on the SAS array. It is used so that system administrators can check connectivity before creating any arrays. While I was waiting for support to reply, I determined I was using a PCI-E LSI SAS1068E SAS card to connect to the external array, so I went looking for new drivers. I found http://lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/standard_product_ics/sas_ics/lsisas1068e/index.html?remote=1&locale=E and after installing the device driver, I was able to see my entire allocated storage on the 2530 instead of just 20MB. Still no way to reorder how it sees the drives though. -GT On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 1:23 PM, GT4NE1 <GT4NE1@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I've got a new Sun Fire X4200 with an attached 2530 SAS array I'm > trying to install RHEL 5.2 x86_64 on.
