Addressing Methods and

Table Structures

Fibre Channel (FC) and SCSI systems use different methods of addressing
devices. The router has a method of translating device IDs so each SCSI device is
mapped to the appropriate Fibre Channel LUN. The SCSI buses establish the bus
connections between devices. Targets on a SCSI bus may internally address
LUNs. The addressing of a specific SCSI device is represented by the
BUS:TARGET:LUN triplet.

When a FC Initiator initializes on a loop, the host must first determine what
devices exist on the loop. Device discovery is performed and an FCP target device
list is built. Each device is queried for FCP LUNs (the LUNs are the actual
devices that the operating system will address.) The addressing used is the SCC
Logical Unit Addressing and Peripheral Device Addressing method, shown in

Table 18

through

Table 23

. First level addressing is supported, so only the first

two bits of the 8 bit FCP LUN are used.
