• Disk images
  • [<path-name>"/"]<file-name>[".vdisk"]
    

    Format: A string containing the full path to a disk container.

    If only the name of the disk container is specified, CHARON-VAX will look for the container in the folder CHARON is running from.
    .

• Local fixed disks (IDE, SCSI, SATA)
  • "/dev/sd<L>" where "L" is letter
  • "/dev/disk/by-id/..." - addressing by the disk ID, for example "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST1000DM003-9YN162_S1D01QJ4"
  • "/dev/disk/by-label/..." - addressing by the disk label, for example "/dev/disk/by-label/MyStorage"

  • "/dev/disk/by-uuid/..." - addressing by the disk UUID, for example "/dev/disk/by-uuid/0e808a2f-cdd3-4944-a245-f729ffd73882"
    

    Note
    Since "/dev/sd<L>" addressing is not persistent, so it is strongly recommended to use "/dev/disk/by-id/...wwn-*" syntax instead to refer the disk by its WWID - especially in the enviroments utilizing FC and SAN storages.

     It is also possible to use not a whole disk, but previously created partitions on it. In this case the syntax is the following: "/dev/sd<L><N>" where N is the number of partition to be used.
    .

• Multipath disks
  • "/dev/dm-<X>",
  • "/dev/mapper/mpath<X>",
    
  • "/dev/mapper/disk<X>" where X is 0,1,2...
    .
• Floppy drives
  • "/dev/fd<X>" where X is 0,1,2...

This parameter is initially not set, thus creating NO storage elements on the controller
