When using third-party multipath software HDLM, after using parted command, the device with symbolic link /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-XX may not be the expected device
Issue
- Using
parted -l
orparted -s print
command changes the symbolic link under/dev/disk/by-id/
for multipath devices and no longer points to the expected device.
# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id
/dev/disk/by-id:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 27 12:00 wwn-0x60060e8021529d005060529d000XXXX -> ../../sddlmaa
...
# parted -l
...
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-id
/dev/disk/by-id:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 28 12:05 wwn-0x60060e8021529d005060529d000XXXX -> ../../sdt
