setboot(1M) in HP-UX 11i v3
Lunpath
The physical hardware path leading to a SCSI logical unit. A SCSI LUN can have more than one lunpath.
Lunpath Hardware Path
Representation of a hardware path for a mass storage device. It is identical in format to a legacy
hardware path, up to the HBA. Beneath the HBA, additional addressing is represented in hexadecimal.
The string “0/2/1/0.0x50001fe1500170ac.0x4017000000000000” is an example of a lunpath
hardware path.
Multi-pathing
The detection, correlation, and coordinated usage of the multiple hardware paths leading to the same
LUN.
Persistent Device Special File
A DSF conforming to the naming model introduced in HP-UX 11i v3 to support lunpath hardware paths
and agile addressing. The file’s name contains an instance number, such as /dev/disk/disk#, and the
minor number has no hardware path information.
