FC to SCSI Mapping

Fibre Channel Initiators Addressing SCSI
Targets
When a Fibre Channel initiator initializes on a loop, it must first determine what devices exist on the loop
and build an FCP target device list. Each device is queried for FCP logical units. The logical units are the
actual devices that the operating system will address. When an initiator addresses a logical unit, the
LUN
field used is consistent in form with the SCSI CC defined fields. All current Fibre Channel host bus adapter
drivers are consistent with these methods. The addressing used is the SCC Logical Unit Addressing and
Peripheral Device Addressing methods, shown in Table 1 through 4. First level addressing is supported, so
only the first 2 bytes of the 8 byte FCP
LUN
are used.
