In linux there is also a move away from the host_number, channel_number, target_identifier and LUN tuple used traditionally by many Unix SCSI subsystems (most do not have the second component: channel_number). At least the LUN is not controversial (as long as it is 8 byte!). The target_identifier is actually transport dependent (but could just be a simple enumeration). The host_number is typically an enumeration over PCI addresses but some other type of computer buses (e.g. microchannel) could be involved.
For some transports, not only the channel but also the Scsi_Host is meaningless. Such transports deal only with targets and logical units. This includes all multi-protocol + multi-bus or network infrastructures such as iSCSI, USB, IEEE 1394.
