Establishing Connections with the INIT and Command Execution
Even if this IDD receives a SCSI command after the power is turned on and loop initialization
is completed, that command is not executed.
In order to execute a SCSI command, it is necessary to establish logical connections with the
INIT. An example of that is shown below.
PRLI
PLOGI
FCP_CMND (inquiry)
FCP_CMND (test unit ready)
Remark. The primitives are omitted.
FCP_RSP (status = Good)
FCP_DATA (inquiry data)
FCP_RSP (Check con Sense Data)
PRLI ACC
IDD (Drive Side)
PLOGI ACC
INIT (Initiator Side)
Figure 2.7
Example of Establishing Logical Connections Between the INIT and IDD
If connections are not established, operation is as follows.
PLOGI is not implemented:
The IDD responds with the LOGO (Extended Link Service) frame.
If PLOGI is already implemented, PRLI is not implemented:
The IDD responds with the PRLO (Extended Link Service) frame.
PRLI is implemented without implementing PLOGI: This combination should not exist.
Furthermore, this IDD supports connections with a maximum of 16 INITs (without relation to
the port).
As for PLOGI of the 17th and subsequent INITs, the LS_RJT frame is sent as a response and
notification to the effect that there are no internal resources for establishing connections is sent.

Loop initialization after establishing connections with the INIT and subsequent processing
After connections between the INIT and IDD are established, if loop initialization occurs for any
reason, SCSI commands which were being executed when loop initialization was carried out are
aborted (however, if a command from a different port was being executed, it is not aborted).
After loop initialization is terminated, the IDD waits for approximately 2 seconds for
connections with the INIT to be reestablished.
This period of time is for the purpose of confirming any changes that may have occurred to
previously held ALPAs due to loop initialization.
Furthermore, if this time is exceeded, the IDD carries out an implicit logout and interrupts the
connection with the INIT.
