Disk Naming Conventions
uses persistent disk names to simplify hardware management.
In addition to the device node identification commonly used in Linux systems (for example, /dev/sda), identifies hardware storage devices by physical location (device path). This ensures that the system can always identify a given disk based on its location, even if its device node enumeration changes because of a hardware reconfiguration. This helps to avoid the need for a system re-installation after a change to the disk complement on a host.
In the Horizon Web interface and in output, both identifications are
shown. For example, the output of the system host-disk-show command includes both the
device_node and the device_path.
