Description

General Information

When OpenVMS is used with Fibre Channel disks, it requires a user-defined identifier (UDID) for each Fibre Channel LUN to detect and name the storage device.

 A UDID is a non-negative integer that is defined on the storage sub-system and used when an OpenVMS device name is created.

Note

This article describes the use of the user-defined identifier (UDID) in an OpenVMS environment. Charon products do not specify requirements regarding this value. The requirements are set by the OpenVMS operating system.

Valid UDID values

Valid UDID values are decimal numbers from 0 to 32766.

Note

If the Fibre Channel disk device is served via MSCP, the device identifier is limited to 9999.

...

A Fibre Channel storage disk device name is created by the operating system from the constant value $1$DGA and the user-defined device identifier, nnnnn. For example: "$1$DGA512".
