Symptoms

Question - Does PowerFlex Volume Create /Sys/Block/SciniX/Device?

Cause

Usually block devices in Linux have a corresponding 'device' directory under /sys/block. Files under this directory can be used to query or configure such a device.

Resolution

PowerFlex sciniX devices do not have it - this is per design, since all configuration and querying should be done using the 'drv_cfg' utility rather than /sys pseudo-file system.
