every drive in a partition.

Fibre Channel drives.
 The drives use soft addressing by default. A drive is assigned a soft
address when it connects to the Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or fabric.
 If you select Hard Addressing, enter a value between 0 and 125 in the
text field. This value is the Loop ID used by the drive when it
connects to the Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or fabric. The ID you
enter must be unique for every device in the loop or fabric.
Notes:  Spectra Logic recommends using soft addressing where
possible for Fibre Channel drives.
 SAS tape drives do not have Loop IDs.
