Indexed Addressing – Allows you to edit and maintain a static address mapping table.
Auto Addressing – Automatically creates a new address mapping table every time the PowerVault 35F is power
cycled.
SCC Addressing – Implements the SCSI-3 Controller Commands SCSI storage array addressing to address SCSI
devices attached to the PowerVault 35F.
SCSI Targets are selected by mapping the appropriate values into the FCP LUN field, and correlating a Fibre Channel
LUN value to a SCSI Bus:Target:LUN value. The PowerVault 35F acts as a single initiator on each SCSI bus,
defaulting to ID 7. All commands passed through to a SCSI bus originate from this SCSI ID.
NOTE: The SCSI bus number corresponds to the physical SCSI ports on the back of the PowerVault 35F. For
example, SCSI bus 0 corresponds to SCSI port 0 on the rear of the PowerVault 35F. SCSI bus 1 corresponds to SCSI
port 1.
Indexed Addressing
Indexed Addressing allows for generic Fibre Channel host bus adapters to access SCSI devices attached to the
PowerVault 35F. This is done by use of a table which is indexed by sequential FCP LUN values, indicating selected
BUS:TARGET:LUN devices.
