Path is installed, be accessed through the SVA Path device file
c81t4d0 (Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1 SVA Path Device Filename Management
If the target and LUN numbers assigned to the device are different
on each physical path, SVA Path uses the target and LUN number
associated with the lowest numbered HBA. If a device is
originally accessible as
c1t4d0 and c2t2d1, for example, the
c1t4d0 device name has the lower controller number (c1) and
thus SVA Path takes the target (t4) and LUN (d0) number from it
to construct the new device name, c81t4d0.
