Patent abstract
The invention, in its various aspects and embodiments, includes a method for uniquely identifying a device on a SCSI bus. The method first queries the device with a first SCSI command to obtain general identification information. Next, a first set of identification information for the device is extracted from the general identification information. A second SCSI command is then determined from the first set of identification information. Next, the device is queried with the second SCSI command to obtain general device identifiers. A second set of identification information for the device is then extracted from the general device identifiers. Then, an unique identifier is formulated from the first and second sets of information.
