Devices

To function properly, some applications require the use of system devices.

You can export a limited set of devices or storage adapters to one or more partitions. Devices that can be exported include Fibre-Channel attached storage devices such as SCSI disk, CD, and tape devices. Applications that require access to non-exportable devices are restricted to running in the global environment. The following pseudo devices are exported to WPARs by default:

/dev/audit
/dev/clone
/dev/console
/dev/error
/dev/errorctl
/dev/null
/dev/nvram
/dev/random
/dev/sad
/dev/tty
/dev/urandom
/dev/xti/tcp
/dev/xti/tcp6
/dev/xti/udp
/dev/xti/udp6
/dev/xti/unixdg
/dev/xti/unixst
/dev/zero

Devices that are exported to workload partitions must operate safely and securely in the WPAR environment.
