Since Scsi_Host:this_id is an integer, it's impossible that a TransportID (which is what you use to identify the port) would ever fit into it, since these are defined to be at least 24 bytes long. > That is another shortcoming of the <hctl> tuple: the > initiator port isn't there. Actually, it may not be in HCIL, but it is in the transport classes (although the only implementor is FC at this time, I think). And that's where it should be since format and contents of the transport ID are transport specific.
