SCSI does not care about partitions. This is only the protocol used to interface with the harddisk.
There is probably a practical limit to the possible number of partitions on your SCSI drive. This is limited by its size mostly.
Normal limitations on partitions is something like 3 Primary partitions and one extended of which can contain more logical partitions. However not being 100% sure about limitations I find it logical to be about 127 or 255.
In any case more than what is practical for most uses.
It is greatly dependent upon which operatingsystem you use.
A partition is only controlled via software or even software in hardware.
Designing software for it, and you can easily have thousands of "partitions".
it is like having a book. If you write the book yourselves, you decide how many chapters this book will consist of. You decide the size of each chapter.

How many partitions does the scsi support?
Scsi has nothing to do with disk partition.
How many partitions does a SCSI support?
127
How many partitions can fit on a SCSI drive?
Hard drives have no physical limit on the number of partitions that can be placed on them. The limitations are dependent on the system architecture and the operating system.
How do you make 3 Partitions on hard disk?
sata,ata,and scsi
How many devices can SCSI-1 support?
8
How many devices can be daisy chained on a single standard SCSI controller?
Most modern SCSI buses support a total of 16 devices, while older SCSI implementations usually support only eight devices.
How many scsi devices can be attached to a wide scsi host adapter?
Wide SCSI bus can support up to 16 devices using channels 0-15.
SCSI bus can support up to how many devices simultaneously?
SCSI, Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI: 8 devices Wide SCSI, Fast Wide SCSI, Ultra Wide SCSI, Wide Ultra2 SCSI, Ultra3 SCSI, Ultra160 and 160+ and Ultra320 : 16 devices Of course, the number of devices supported depends not only on protocol limitations, but cable length, number of cables used, etc.
How many primary partitions does MBR support?
A single MBR-Style disk can contain a maximum of four primary partitions.
What are SCSI types that allow for 16 devices including the adapter to be connected on a single shared cable?
Ultra wide SCSI. wide SCSI buses support 16 devices, rather than the eight devices specified in regular SCSI.
How many partitions can be created in Linux?
This depends on the age of the kernel being used, the type of drive, and the software used to partition the drive. Older Linux systems had a limit of 63 partitions for IDE drives and 15 for SCSI. Kernels before around 2.6.28.5 that used libATA limited all drives to 15 partitions. Experimentation with more recent kernels indicates a limit around 130 partitions per drive. Many partitioning programs available for Linux are still limited to 63 partitions or less.
What hard disk interface that can support up to eight or fifteen peripheral devices?
SCSI interface would be what you're looking for.
