Device name on Linux

Dear All
during installation we used devices from linux multipath software now we want to remove linux multipath and use vendro multipath.
we had installed oracle using ASM.
Is there a way to change the device names from /dev/mapper/mpathX to /dev/sdb ....?
Best regrads

ASMLib scans all disk devices during startup, or when using the oracleasm scandisk command, to search for disk header information to identify ASM disks. If there are multiple paths to one and the same disk, ASMLib will choose only one of the paths, because ASM cannot handle seeing the same disk twice. In a multipath environment, ASMLib needs to be configured to ignore individual device paths and instead use the multipath device name. If your previous multipath environment was configured properly it should have ORACLEASM_SCANORDER and/or ORACLEASM_SCANEXCLUDE defined. Here is a documentation link:

How to get the ASM to OS device name mapping

Hi all,
This seems to be an often answered question, but usually the answers specify what to do on the OS (e.g. run oracleasm etc) and/or in the ASM database running on the ASM Host (select * from V$...).
In our situation have plug-ins collecting data from Agents. Plugins collect data from Oracle db/ASM targets and from storage arrays.
Back on the OMS we want to be able to report on the ASM to OS device name mapping. To report, we use either the default metadata UI (i.e. data from the sysman.mgmt_emx_... tables) or we have a BI Publisher report that queries the OEM Repository Database (and can join the ECM tables from the different plug-ins).
The link between the ASM path and the OS device name does not seem to be collected by either the Oracle DB/ASM plug-in, nor by any other plug-in (Host/Storage/...).
It would be easy to go to Linux and run a few commands, but we need to support multiple platforms, like AIX, Solaris x86, Windows as well.
A complicating factor is that ASM can be installed in different configurations, e.g. using ASMlib or using udev...
I really suspect this wheel has been invented before?! Or is it really a matter of having multiple OS-specific low-level scripts and adding a bunch of instance parameters for allowing the user to specify all OS-specific path/utility names etc?
Any suggestions welcome... :-)
Many thanks,
Ed

ZCM 11-TP: device names always in lower case

Hello,
I'm just wonder why ZCM registers all linux device names in lower case, independent if the host name on the device itself is written in upper or lower case.
Is this how ZCM did it all the time or is there a specific reason for this ?

I'll investigate and let you know.

Mount by label or device name

Hi,
Is there an option i can give in my kickstart file for Oracle Linux 6.4 to create the fstab entries with Labels or device names (/dev/sd*). Right now it creates them with the disk UUID which doesn't really help in getting information at a glance
Thanks

You can add a %post script to your kickstart configuration to label a file system and modify /etc/fstab accordingly:
For example:
%post
e2label /dev/sda1 boot
perl -p -i -e 's|^UUID=[[:alnum:]-]+[[:blank:]]+/boot[[:blank:]]|LABEL=boot /boot |' /etc/fstab
%end

What device names do disks get?

On my previous Arch box, I had two IDE harddisks, which got device names hda and hdb, partitions got numbers like hda1, hda2, etc... If I attached an USB stick or camera to it, then that USB disk got name sda1
On my new Arch box, there's 1 SATA disk, and the partitions on it get names sda1 to sda7.
This sda is the name that an USB device got on my previous computer. Why is the hard disk here sda instead of hda? What do the s and the h stand for?
If on my new Arch box, I attach the two disks of the old computer (to copy over the files), then the SATA disk suddenly becomes sdc instead of sda. To be able to boot Arch, I have to change the path in grub, as well as changing all sda's into sdc's in fstab and reboot.
Why does it change the name of the disk if I attach new disks? Is there a way to attach two IDE disks to this computer while keeping the name sda for the SATA disk, or is there no way to interfere with the naming process that linux uses?

The s is for sata and scsi devices (usb drives and such do also get an s), but with the new pata driver from linux-2.6.20 and later (which replaces ide-legacy) also ide drives get an s instead of h. So In the near future all drives will have names like sda and sdb and such.
If you haven't got that yet you're still using the old driver and might want to replace "ide" in mkinitcpio with "pata". The order in which the drives are named is defined by:
* The order in which the pata and sata modules get loaded, the first one gets the first names.
* The order of the drives on their buses.

[solved] VLC: Playing a DVD: "Device name" history?

My girlfriend used to use Windows XP, and the OS decided to cave in until it blue-screened on boot. I use linux full-time, so I thought I would install it on her computer instead of Windows to see if she liked it. She really likes the speed and stability, but the technical aspect of it confuses her pretty frequently - linux is no easy dog to put a leash on!
So I'm trying to make everything very friendly for her. I installed VLC media player, and she likes it cause it always works well, but when she goes to play DVDs, the "Device name" field is always empty, so she needs to enter /dev/sr0 every time. Is there a way to have /dev/sr0 already present in the device name for when she decides to play a DVD?

Right on! I can't believe I missed that in the menus ... man. Most of my posts have been really obvious. I suppose this is a good thing, since all the complicated stuff is worked out for the most part

Device Name for Cisco Jabber

I found a document on Jabber Developer that explains all steps for the Cisco Jabber CUCM Setup Guide (http://developer.cisco.com/web/jabber-developer/jabber-sdk-cucm-guide), the phone type must be Cisco Unified Client Services Framework, everything fine, but says that the Device Name should be as ECP<username> when original setup guides says that must be as CSF<username>.
My users setup Device Name are as CSF<username>, but just to follow a best practice, should I change all Device Names to ECP<username>??
Regards,
Juan Carlos Arias

There's another thread on which someone mentioned some problems when using ECP for device name. Windows for jabber method of operation is the name of it. Do you have any configs using ECP??
Since I already have this in m lab working as expected i'll configure a couple of users with ECP and see if something changes, just wondering if you have something configured with ECP already.

How do you remove an old device name from your iTunes account?

I have several old device names/backups on my iTunes that I want to remove. They were from old iPhones that we've turned into iPod's for my kids which we needed to create a new device name for them. So now when I restore a device, I have a list of about 10 different names to choose from.
How can I erase the old names/backups that we no longer use? I still have 3 on there that I want to keep though so I don't want to erase all of them.

iTunes Prefs > Devices.
Selec a backup and delete it there.

Bluetooth connection to multiple devices with the same device name

I just got a new iPhone 4 and am having trouble connecting it to my car's bluetooth. We have two GM vehicles which both have bluetooth. I can connect to one vehicle with no problems, but when I try to connect to the other, the phone tries to connect to the first car since both have the device name of "General Motors". With my old phone, I could change the name of the connection in the phone so that each car had a different name. How do I do this on my iPhone?
Thanks for the help?

No. It's a limitation of the BlueTooth protocol.

Two ipods on same computer - same device name

When installing my new nano, it took on the same device name as my wife's. How can I change the device name so that the computer recognizes it as a different ipod and will therefore only sync with the playlists I want on mine, as well as when she syncs?

When only one iPod is connected, select it in the iTunes source list, click on its name, and type a new name. You may then need to follow the instructions in this article.

Multiple Device Names

Once I upgraded to Yosemite, I noticed in Finder that my device name would change and under the Shared section, there was multiples of my computer. In Devices, it shows COMPUTER (2) and then Macintosh HD. The number changes all the time as well. Under Shared, I see COMPUTER, COMPUTER (2), COMPUTER (3) and COMPUTER (4). There is no way to delete them and I think it's the reason I am having difficult Wi-Fi syncing my iPhone 6 and iPad to iTunes. Can someone offer a suggestion on how to make my computer only have the one name (as it did in Mavericks)? Thanks.......

Experiencing the same thing. Have tried everything to rectify the situation, but my computer name and local addressing keep changing. Be sure to log the bug so Apple can get this fixed: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto? I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :

Is it possible to include the device name in an e-mail signature?

Greetings,
I am currently managing 150 iPads we have deployed in our school system. The iPads are on carts of 30 which are moved from classroom to classroom as needed. For student work I have set up Dropbox and it has been working fine. However, a few teachers requested the iPads be set up with e-mail which can be used to prevent filling up our Dropbox space. I have successfully done this using a shared Exchange e-mail address between all the devices. However, this has begun to cause some minor issues as the students can send an e-mail essentually anonymously from any of the iPads. We are trying to avoid creating e-mail accounts for all the students or iPads and I figured the easiest way to do this would be to add the device name to the e-mail signature. After searching for a while I have not come up with a yes or no as to whether this is possible or not. If it is not, are there any other solutions that don't involve a lot of work after reimaging the devices. Thanks in advance!
~Cameron

You can set the signature for an email to be anything you want it to be. Go to the Mail, Contacts, Calendars setting and go to the Signatures area. There is however no way I know of to lock this setting, so the students can just remove the device name if they know about the setting. I also don't know if there's a way to automate the configuration so you don't have to do this manually on each iPad. Perhaps someone else here will know.
Regards.

Getting "There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device " device-name "

For the past several years, I have had a stereo receiver hooked up to and airport express to stream music wirelessly from my iMac to stereo speakers. All of a sudden, I started getting the message "There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device "<device-name>". So, what changed, we recently changed ISP from Verizon DSL to RCN cable, I changed my Apple ID (due to the ISP change), I upgraded all computers to OS X Lion, and I have a new iPhone5. I can't tell you exactly when during the process things went bad, but I can tell you what I have done to solve the problem:
I checked that my devices are configured correctly. The network layout is as follows: I have an Airport Express on the 3rd floor of my house, along with the iMac containing the iTunes library, I have an Airport Express on the 2nd floor acting as a repeater, I have an Airport Express on the 1st floor acting as a repeater and connected to my stereo receiver and 4 speakers. I control which set of speakers is "on" via the receiver.
I checked that I can get sound out of the speakers via the receiver by selecting FM and got radio to play, so I believe the receiver is ok.
I swapped this receiver with another receiver and got no sound and still the message "there are no speakers connected..."
I moved the Airport Express from the AUX port to the TAPE2 port to check the port. Still no sound.
I checked the cable with a Bose box and got sound, so I believe the cable is ok.
I plugged a headset directly into the Airport Express and got no sound.
I swapped the 2nd floor and 1st floor Airport Express units, reconfigured the new 1st floor unit to turn on Air Play and still get no sound and the error message.
I am controlling the music using the Remote app on my iPhone. I have configured the new device to use this library.
I am tired, confused and at a loss. What can be going on here?

All that I can suggest is that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the Express to wipe the current settings and set it up again.
If you are still having problems after that, you need to take the Express to an Apple Store or Apple Servicer near you to let them have a look at what I suspect is a defective AirPort Express.

Changed (renamed) device name in Intune app on iOS device. This change is not showing up in the admin portal, even after 24 hours

Hi,
I am trying to update a mobile devices names. Initially, I changed the iOS device name (Settings->General->About->Name) and then I also renamed the device in the Intune app on the device. Neither of these changes are propagating through
to the admin portal, even after 24 hours. Is there anything else I should be doing for this to work?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Simon.

I'm seeing the same thing as Simon, I changed the iOS device name in both places on an iOS device and the name in the Intune console is still "iPhone" which is really unhelpful as I'm sure you can imagine. Is there some other place
that we should be going to rename devices so they are more easily identifiable in the Intune console?
Thanks!
