How To Set Device Name Using UDEV on Oracle Linux 7.X

edited Jun 30, 2022 1:56PM in Linux

Custom disk names can be used to make it easier to identify specific storage and how it is being used, such as for ASM storage. A udev rule needs to be created to set a custom name for a disk.

In order to create custom name (/dev/DISKNAME) for /dev/sdb set udev rules as below:

1. Find UUID of device

# /usr/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u /dev/sdb

1IET_00020002

Save this UUID, as this ID will be used later.

2. Create new udev rule

Create new udev rule file in appropriate location as below:

# vi /etc/udev/rules.d/99-my-asmdevices.rules

Howdy, Stranger!
