Comparing COUP and PUP Commands With START SCSI
In the G-series releases, the SCF START SCSI command replaces the
COUP START DEVICE command and the PUP UP command.
If necessary, the storage subsystem manager starts the Open SCSI I/O
process if it is not running. When the process is ready, the storage
subsystem manager puts the Open SCSI I/O process into a STARTED
state (the equivalent of a PUP UP command).
The following table compares COUP and PUP commands with the SCF
START SCSI command.

for the storage subsystem, see PUP Commands and Equivalent SCG
Commands in SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
