Question about array controllers and Tru64

How does Tru64 map logical units on an array controller to a UNIX device?

I have a HSZ70 and a 8200 running 4.0F. The HSZ70 has the following units
defined:

LUN Uses
D0 M0
D1 S1
D100 S100
D101 M101
D102 M102

These LUN devices map to rz devices in /dev. I understand that MAKEDEV is
used to create the rz devices. However, I am unclear on how the mapping is
defined.

For example, D0 maps to rz40. D1 maps to rzb40. The syntax for MAKEDEV
might be:

    # /dev/MAKEDEV rz40 rzb40

But how does the system ³know² which LUN to map to which device?

TIA,

-Ric
