Possible values of the parameter are strings in one of the following forms:

• Physical disk drives
  • "\\.\PhysicalDrive<X>", where X is 0, 1, …
    "\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID =XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)"
    

    DevID addresses the target physical disk by its WWID
    (hexadecimal 128-bit identifier assigned to the disk
    drive by its manufacturer/originator).

    Example:

    Div class small set PUA container[3]="\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID= 6008-05F3-0005-2950-BF8E-0B86-A0C7-0001)"

    .The WWID values can be obtained from "Host Device Check" utility ("All drives" section), for example:

    
    
    

    Note
    If If the "Host Device Check" utility does not display any WWID value it , this means that the target disk does not have itone. Use the "\\.\PhysicalDrive<N>" mapping in this case.

    
    

• iSCSI disks
  • "\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget = <iSCSI target>, LUN = <LUN number>)"
    

    iScsiTarget addresses the disk by its iSCSI target name.
    LUN specifies LUN on connected iSCSI disk. 

    Example:

    Div class small set PUA container[0]="\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget= iqn.2008-04:iscsi.charon-target-test1, LUN= 1)"

    .

• Physical tape drives recognized by Windows
  • "\\.\Tape<X>", where X is 0, 1, …
    .
• Floppy drives
  • "\\.\A:"
  • "\\.\B:"
    .
• CD-ROM drives (read-only)
  • "\\.\CdRom<X>", where X is 0, 1, …
    .
• CHARON-VAX disk images
  • [<drive>":\"<path-name>"\"]<file-name>[".vdisk"]
    . 
• CHARON-VAX tape images
  • [<drive>":\"<path-name>"\"]<file-name>".vtape"
