Network Storage Router e1200-160

Fibre Channel to SCSI Protocol Process

This section describes the steps the router uses to convert Fibre Channel host
protocol to SCSI device protocol.

Figure 3

and

Table 3

illustrate and define this

process.

Figure 3: Converting Fibre Channel to SCSI process

Table 3: Converting Fibre Channel to SCSI

Item

Description

A Fibre Channel host issues an encapsulated FCP protocol command
packet to the router.

The router Fibre Channel controller interprets the Fibre Channel
information, and places the packet in buffer memory.

The router interprets the Fibre Channel information packet and programs
the router SCSI controller to process the transaction.

The router SCSI controller sends the command to the SCSI device
(target).

The SCSI target interprets the command and executes it.
