About configuring legacy device files
You can use legacy device files for the following:
Robotic control using SCSI or Fibre Channel Protocol control.
SCSI control includes Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), which is SCSI over Fibre Channel. A robotic device in a library moves the media between storage slots and the drives in the library.
Tape drive read and write access.
SAN client pass-through paths for Fibre Transport traffic to NetBackup media servers.
