Hi list
I have a problem. (who doesnt, right?)
I have a cluster setup, high availability, using clumanager. I also have external RAID configured on these two machines.
Originally, when I upgraded to FC2, the RAID came up as /dev/sda, and the internal hdd came up as /dev/sdb. With that not being desirable, I made a change to the initrd, using this command:
mkinitrd -f -v --preload=aic79xx /boot/initrd-2.6.5-1.358custom.img 2.6.5-1.358custom
The preloaded scsi driver, is the one controlling the internal drive.
This change, made the internal drive become /dev/sda again, and the RAID /dev/sdb, like I want it.
Now, Ive just installed a 146gb SCSI disk into one of the servers, and after a reboot (I could see no way to make FC2 pick up the SCSI drive without rebooting) its picked up the 146gb new SCSI disk as /dev/sda, moved the original internal SCSI disk to /dev/sdb, and moved the RAID to /dev/sdc.
Preferably, I would like this:
/dev/sda = Internal SCSI disk /dev/sdb = external RAID /dev/sdc = the new SCSI disk ive just added
I need /dev/sdb to be the RAID, as Im using RAWDEVICES to allocate some common drive space, for the cluster software to run. These RAWDEVICES are /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 (on RAID)..
Please, can anyone offer me some assistance, or a way to force the new SCSI disk ive just added, to become /dev/sdc?
TIA!!!!

No idea if it would work, but since the scsi stuff is usually assigned according to the order of discovery during the bus scan, you might try make the device you want as sda use a scsi buss address of 0, the device to want to be sdb set at address 1, and the new drive at address 2.
All this is of course just so much noise if you have more than 1 interface because that will have priority over bus addresses.
Am I able to STOP the 2nd internal SCSI drive from mounting at boot, then manually mount if AFTER boot, forcing it to be sdc?
Im struggling with this one.. please help..
Cheers, Dan
