Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UXInterpreting Legacy Hardware Paths (HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2)Chapter 115Table 1-4 describes each field in the hardware path.Table 1-4 Hardware Path Field DescriptionsField ValueFibre Channel Topology of HBAFabric Topologies Private LoopAdapter The hardware path of the Fibre Channel adapter through which the Logical Unit Number(LUN) is seen. For multiport adapters, this field describes a specific port on the adapter.Domain Dependent on theFibre Channeltopology of the HBA.Typically the Domain ID of theswitch to which the target device isattached, taken from the mostsignificant byte of the N_Port ID ofthe target device.8HP-UX uses a Domain ID of 8 toindicate private loops. FibreChannel switches seen byHP-UX hosts cannot beconfigured with domain ID of 8.Area Depends on theFibre Channeltopology of the HBA.Taken from the second byte of theN_Port ID of the target device.On some switches, the second byte ofthe N_Port ID encodes the switchport to which the device isconnected. The encoding methoddepends on the switch. See yourswitch manual to interpret thisfield.0Port Depends on theFibre Channeltopology of the HBAand the targetdevice, and on theLUN addressingmethod used.For LUNs with Peripheral Device Addressing,the value of this field is always 255.For other LUN methods, the value ofthis field is the least significant byteof the N_Port ID of the target device.For other LUN methods, thevalue of this field is the Loop IDof the target device.Bus Depends on theFibre Channeltopology of the HBAand the targetdevice, and on theLUN addressingmethod used.For LUNs with Peripheral DeviceAddressing, the value of this field isthe upper 4 bits of the leastsignificant byte of the N_Port ID ofthe target device.For LUNs with Peripheral DeviceAddressing, the value of this fieldis the upper 4-bits of the LoopID of the target device.For LUNs with Logical Unit Addressing,the value is the Bus Number field of the LUN.For LUNs with Volume Set Addressing (Flat Space Addressing),the value is bits 7 - 13 of the LUN.
