4.2. Addressing Methods for HP-UX

[1] These limitations will be resolved with a new version of HP-UX, soon to be released.
Peripheral Device addressing
Logical Unit addressing
Volume Set addressing
Figure 4-5. Addressing Methods
The Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) has a very large address space mapped onto the parallel SCSI address model of HP-UX. The FCP portion of the SCSI subsystem on HP-UX handles the large target address space associated with Fibre Channel by creating multiple virtual SCSI buses.
The FCP ...
