Booting 5.0A off of EMC disk

Hello everyone,

I have installed Tru64 5.0A w/ patch kit 2 entirely on EMC disks over a
fiber channel SAN. I am booting off the EMC disk. My problem is that the
SCSI target/lun being advertised by the Connectrix (EMC's fiber channel
switch) is not the target/lun I'm seeing on the Alpha. For example, the
Connectrix has disks setup as target 4 and lun 1-10, then the disks will
show up as target 0 lun 34-46 on the Alpha. I have no idea which EMC volume
any disk on the OS side corresponds to. From what little documentation I've
found the emx driver on the OS does some sort of translation for the fiber
channel devices. I see the same translation at the SRM prompt as well so it
might not be the emx driver.

Does anyone know how to trace the dskN devices back to the fiber channel
devices?

The server is an ES40 (SRM 5.8 & patch kit 2) w/ 2 KGPSA-CA fiber cards
connected to an EMC Connectrix switch.
