Stephen,
The minimum number of initiators supported is an implementation choice,
typically expressed by a profile or a vendor specification. In particular,
16 initiators are typically specified today. These values are also required
for sizing persistent reservation tables and login information tables.
In the near future, I expect the numbers to increase quite a bit.
As a result, it should only be necessary to specify what is done for
each initiator, then let the implementors, profile writers, and market
place define how many are actually supported.
