Auto Assigned Addressing Option D-7
Auto Assigned Addressing Option
The Auto Assigned option is similar to the Indexed
addressing, but with the distinction that the table used is
created through SCSI device discovery on power up or reset,
and not otherwise retained. As the unit performs device
discovery on a SCSI bus, the Index table relating FCP LUN
values is filled with adjacent FCP LUNs referencing each
subsequent SCSI device. The host system will then detect
every attached device without voids, allowing full device
discovery to the host. This allows easy configuration in
environments where device ordering is not important and hot
plugging of SCSI devices will not occur. Tape libraries are
excellent candidates for using Auto Assigned Addressing.
Configuration allows for discovery to be performed in order
of bus, target, or LUN as desired for the specific environment.
