Running Path Claim
Rules
The
esxcli storage core
claimrule run
command runs path claiming rules.
You can run this command to
apply claim rules that are loaded. See
Load and Apply Path Claim Rules.
You can also use the
esxcli storage
core claimrule run
command for troubleshooting and boot time
configuration.
Options | Description |
|---|---|
--adapter
<adapter> -A
<adapter> | If
--type is
location , name of the HBA for the paths to run the
claim rules on. To run claim rules on paths from all adapters, omit this
option. |
--channel
<channel> -C
<channel> | If
--type is
location , value of the SCSI channel number for the
paths to run the claim rules on. To run claim rules on paths with any channel
number, omit this option. |
--claimrule-class -c | Claim rule class to use in this operation. |
--device -d | Device UID to use for this
operation. |
--lun
<lun> -L
<lun> | If
--type is
location , value of the SCSI LUN for the paths to run
claim rules on. To run claim rules on paths with any LUN, omit this
option. |
--path
<path_UID> -p
<path_UID> | If
--type is
path , this option indicates the unique path
identifier (UID) or the runtime name of a path to run claim rules on. |
--target
<target> -T
<target> | If
--type is
location , value of the SCSI target number for the
paths to run claim rules on. To run claim rules on paths with any target
number, omit this option. |
--type
<location|path|all> -t
<location|path|all> | Type of claim to perform. By default, uses
all , which means claim rules run without restriction
to specific paths or SCSI addresses. Valid values are
location ,
path , and
all . |
--wait -w | You can use this option
only if you also use
--type all .
If the option is included,
the claim waits for paths to settle before running the claim operation. In that
case, the system does not start the claiming process until it is likely that
all paths on the system have appeared before starting the claim process.
After the claiming process
has started, the command does not return until device registration has
completed.
If you add or remove paths
during the claiming or the discovery process, this option might not work
correctly.
