Parameter

container[N]

N=0…9999

Type

Text String

Value

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
      classsmall

      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
      classsmall

      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"
