Hi all

It looks like SAN device, I don't think you can't change the raw device path in Solaris.

In linux, you can give the long device name with pretty label name.

yap... this is from the SAN storage...
so no way to change it?
coz the path name is too long for me..

Under Solaris /dev files happen to be symbolic links to the real device files which are under /device and have a more complex naming scheme.
I'm not sure it is a good idea but technically nothing forbids you to create a symbolic link with the name of your choice and use it instead of the regular one.
Code:
ln -s /dev/dsk/c0t600A0B80001F350A000033404A5D29D9d0s2 /dev/dsk/oracle1
