The pNFS SCSI layout uses the Device Identification VPD page (page code
0x83) from <xref target="SPC4" /> to identify the devices used by

- to build SCSI Device Identification descriptors from NVMe Identify

To be used as storage devices for the pNFS SCSI layout, NVMe devices
MUST support either the EUI64 or NGUID value in the
Identify Namespace data, as the methods based on the Serial Number for
legacy devices might not be suitable for unique addressing needs and
- thus MUST NOT be used. If possible NVMe devices uses as storage
- devices for the pNFS SCSI layout SHOULD support the NGUID value as
- it is the larger identifier.
+ thus MUST NOT be used. If available, the NGUID value SHOULD be used
+ as the larger identifier.
