I'm running solaris 7 on a SPARC system. I have used DiskSuite to create my filesystems. Their device names have such designations as d24, d30, etc. Those devices may have several slices on them. I can correlate the raw disk name (c0t0d0s3, for example) to the d24 device name with DiskSuite.

I am running Sun Management Center to monitor my system. Disk names that are listed in the Health Monitor Section have such names as md0, md1, etc. How can I match up the md numbers in Management Center d24 device designations? Without this information, any alerts I receive about a disk being too busy or having a long wait time are meaningless. If I don't know what filesystem is on the disk that is giving out the alert, I can't do anything about it to solve the problem.

And can anyone tell me why Sun does it this way? It seems rather convoluted.

 
I think you will find that md stands for mettadevice. They should correspond to your device numbers.
