Abstract
The method includes querying for one or more logical unit numbers (LUNs) pertaining to a small computer system interface device, each LUN representing a potential path from a host to the SCSI device. Response data indicative of multiple LUNs to the single SCSI device is treated as separate instances of independent SCSI devices, with each separate instance representing a different SCSI separate instances of independent SCSI devices, with each separate instance representing a different SCSI device structure. A unique identifier (UID) is calculated for each SCSI device structure, from which a device file is generated based on the UID and contains UID and path information that differentiates between multiple paths from the host to the SCSI device.
