worldwide name) are provided. The Fibre Channel DID number is the
physical Fibre Channel address being used by the N_Port.

A list of all other Fibre Channel devices on this SCSI bus, with their
SCSI ID, port name, node name, physical Fibre Channel address and
other items such as:
• Present — The adapter indicates that this N_Port is present on
the fabric
• Logged in — The adapter and remote N_Port have exchanged
initialization parameters and have an open channel for
communications (nonprotocol-specific communications)
• FCP Target — This N_Port acts as a SCSI target device (it receives
SCSI commands)
• FCP Logged in — The adapter and remote N_Port have exchanged
FCP-specific initialization parameters and have an open channel for
communications (Fibre Channel protocol-specific communications)
• Logged Out — The adapter and remote N_Port do not have an open
channel for communication
• FCP Initiator — The remote N_Port acts as a SCSI initiator device
(it sends SCSI commands)
• FCP Suspended — The driver has invoked a temporary suspension
on SCSI traffic to the N_Port while it resolves a change in
connectivity
• F_PORT — The fabric connection (F_Port) allowing the adapter to
send Fibre Channel traffic into the fabric
• Directory Server — The N_Port is the FC entity queried to
determine who is present on the Fibre Channel fabric
3 A target ID of -1 (or -2) shows up for remote Fibre Channel devices
that do not communicate using Fibre Channel protocol, the directory
server, and F_Port.
