How to identify Boot Disk Order ?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • RHEL boots and assigns /dev/sdb to the system disk and /dev/sda to the non-system disk.
  • Ideally, correct behaviour is expected where a system disk and other disk are inserted in any slot, only the system disk is booted to, and the system disk is assigned /dev/sda and the other disk is assigned /dev/sdb

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux All version
