Windows NT SCSI Address Mapping
The driver emulates six SCSI buses per HBA to map all 126 possible AL_PA
to Target IDs.
The first bus is a dummy bus used to delay the Windows NT initial inquiry
scan until after discovery completes. The 31 target IDs per bus (Windows NT
requires the initiator to consume one of the IDs, we use #31) are then mapped
to either ascending or descending SEL_IDs (based on the ScanDown registry
parameter).
NOTE: The first bus will be utilized if the parameter MapBus0=1 is used.
Fabric Device Mapping
In a fabric (switched) environment, devices are initially created based on the
order that they are returned from the Simple Name Server (SNS). Once
created (at boot), the devices continue to be tracked based on:
– WWPN: HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=0
– NodeName: HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=1
D_ID: HardAddress=1; (MapNodeName=dont care)
