Configuring and Managing Open
SCSI Devices
An Open SCSI device is a device that obeys the ANSI standard protocol for the small
computer system interface (SCSI) to communicate with the system through the Open
SCSI I/O process. An Open SCSI device has the object type of SCSI.
The SCSI object can also represent Fibre Channel devices that use the SCSI protocol
to communicate with the system. These devices are called Open SCSI Fibre Channel
devices.
Unless stated otherwise, references to Open SCSI devices also refer to Open SCSI
Fibre Channel devices.
