Auto Assigned Addressing Method

The Auto Assigned addressing method is created through SCSI device discovery
on power up or reset. As the router performs device discovery on the SCSI bus,
the index table FCP LUN values are filled with adjacent FCP LUN referencing
each subsequent SCSI device. The index table generated by the Auto Assigned
option cannot be manually edited.

When the Auto Assigned option is used, the host system will detect every attached
SCSI device without voids, allowing full device access to the host. This method
allows easy configuration in environments where SCSI device ordering is not
important and where hot plugging of SCSI devices will not occur. For example,
tape libraries are excellent candidates for using Auto Assigned Addressing.
Configuration options provide for the SCSI discovery to be performed in order of
bus, target, or LUN as desired for the specific environment.
