Interpreting Legacy Hardware Paths (HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2)

Example 1-1, Example 1-2and Example 1-3illustrate the Fibre Channel hardware path format:

Example 1-1 Hardware Path for a Public Loop Device

Adapter Domain Area Port Bus Target LUN

Example 1-2 Hardware Path for a Direct Fabric Attach Device

Adapter Domain Area Port Bus Target LUN

Example 1-3 Hardware Path for a Private Loop Device

Adapter Domain Area Port Bus Target LUN

Table 1-3describes each field in the hardware path.
