Identifying Physical Local Block Devices on AhsayUBS

Method 1: Serial Number

The "Serial Number" is the unique identifier for a block device. Thus, the block device can be found physically in the machine by its serial number.

Here are the steps to look for the serial number in the AhsayUBS WebAdmin:

1. In the page Storage > Summary, click on the block device icon you are looking for. The page then will be redirected to Storage > Summary > Block Device Information.

2. If the "Serial Number" can be retrieved by the block device, the row "Serial Number" will exist in the table.

   

Method 2: Device Name

If a block device is connected to a specific controller e.g. 'ad' for ATA or 'da' for SCSI. The connector will be named and ordered starting from 0, e.g. ad0, ad1, da0, da1 … etc. Therefore, the block device can be identified according to the controller name and the connector number.

To look for the device name, please follow the steps below:

1. In the page Storage > Summary, click on the block device icon you are looking for. The page then will be redirected to Storage > Summary > Block Device Information.

2. The "Device Name" exists in the information table.
