+ * Model 4, 5, and (some) model 6 EMC Symmetrix devices return
+ * a page 83 reply according to SCSI-2 format instead of SPC-2/3.
+ *
+ * The SCSI-2 page 83 format returns an IEEE WWN in binary
+ * encoded hexi-decimal in the 16 bytes following the initial
+ * 4-byte page 83 reply header.
+ *
+ * Both the SPC-2 and SPC-3 formats return an IEEE WWN as part
+ * of an Identification descriptor. The 3rd byte of the first
+ * Identification descriptor is a reserved (BSZ) byte field.
+ *
+ * Reference the 7th byte of the page 83 reply to determine
+ * whether the reply is compliant with SCSI-2 or SPC-2/3
+ * specifications. A zero value in the 7th byte indicates
+ * an SPC-2/3 conformant reply, (i.e., the reserved field of the
+ * first Identification descriptor). This byte will be non-zero
+ * for a SCSI-2 conformant page 83 reply from these EMC
+ * Symmetrix models since the 7th byte of the reply corresponds
+ * to the 4th and 5th nibbles of the 6-byte OUI for EMC, that is,
+ * 0x006048.
