Page 4: Description
FibreQuik - Fibre Channel Adapter User Guide Description The Cambex FibreQuik™ Fibre Channel host bus adapters provide attachment of Fibre Channel devices to PCI or Micro Channel based servers. They support the SCSI-FCP protocol. When used with the Cambex Alternate Channel Failover software, two adapters in a system provide greater throughput and total protection from failure of a fibre channel loop. -

Page 7: Aix Configuration
FibreQuik - Fibre Channel Adapter User Guide AIX Configuration During power-up initialization, AIX will find and configure the new adapter(s) and any supported devices using the driver's configuration method. Devices are assigned a SCSI ID as they are discovered starting with 0. SCSI ID is not related to loop ID or to SCSI ID assignment on other hosts. -
Page 8: Persistent Bindings
ID or port ID of a device may change and the device will still be properly addressed. In the Cambex AIX driver, persistent binding is automatic. At configuration time, all devices that are found are automatically assigned to a SCSI ID and a persistent binding is created. -
