Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for a multihost information handling system employing a static logical identifier. In an aspect of the present invention, at least one input/output interface has a target masking configuration utility of the input/output interface which controls the allocation of target devices to the host. Each host may have its own target masking configuration utility or may communicate with each other through agents connected to each other through a network such as a local area network. A controller is communicatively coupled to the ports. When the controller receives an identifier from the host, the controller generates a logical identifier from the identifier, the logical identifier suitable for being utilized in conjunction with a look-up table to provide access to the target.
