 Hi all,
assume we work in Solaris case (Linux, Aix are the the same):
We have device like /dev/rdsk/emcpowera/b/c/d......
But our goal is to give the humain name for this device, specially when the device reside in a different storage (2 SAN).
So, we can process in two way:

1) create symbolic link (ln -s)
Or
2) use mknod (For example mkdir /dev/asm, mknod -c maj,min <device>

My question is as follow:
Two methods are supported i suppose! But what's the best practices from Oracle? symbolic link or mknod
And what is the technical argmumentation to justify the choice between the above alternatives?

Howdy, Stranger!
