README.txt ~~~~~~~~~~ Chassis_id is a callout program which is used to give geographic names to devices. It uses another callout program scsi_id to determine the serial number of a device and then looks up the provisioning table based on this key. It retrieves geographic information ( chassis#, slot# and host# ) about the device and prints it to stdout. These fields are used by udev to create the device entry. Using Udev: ~~~~~~~~~~ Chassis_id gets invoked by udev using the udev as below: BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/usr/local/bin/chassis_id", NAME="/chassis%c{1}/slot%c{2}/host%c{3}/disk-%c{4} The provisioning table ( file provision.tbl ) has to be put in /usr/local/bin and as of now has to be populated manually. This is the only place where the geographic map of devices is kept in the system. Usage Model: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ On ATCA based blade architecture systems, blade insertion/removal is common. We create names in a 3 level deep tree which represent the geographic map of the devices. CONTACT: ~~~~~~~~ Please feel free to contact atul.sabharwal@intel.com with questions, comments, suggestions.
