- ~~~~~~~~~~
-Chassis_id is a callout program which is used to give geographic names to devices. It uses
-another callout program scsi_id to determine the serial number of a device and then looks up
-the provisioning table based on this key. It retrieves geographic information
-( chassis#, slot# and host# ) about the device and prints it to stdout. These fields are
-used by udev to create the device entry.
-
-Using Udev:
-~~~~~~~~~~
-Chassis_id gets invoked by udev using the udev as below:
-
-BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/usr/local/bin/chassis_id", NAME="/chassis%c{1}/slot%c{2}/host%c{3}/disk-%c{4}
-
-The provisioning table ( file provision.tbl ) has to be put in /usr/local/bin and as of now has
-to be populated manually. This is the only place where the geographic map of devices is kept
-in the system.
-
-
-Usage Model:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-On ATCA based blade architecture systems, blade insertion/removal is common. We create names
-in a 3 level deep tree which represent the geographic map of the devices.
