2.7 In-band SCSI
What is it and what is it used for?
These days more and more external devices require communication with the host computer for
device monitoring and administration. This is usually done through RS-232C ports.
An alternative means of communication is now available for FC-to-SATA RAID controllers – in-band
SCSI. The traditional way for SCSI controllers to communicate with the host computer has been via
software (such as Altos RAIDWatch) using an RS-232C connection. With in-band SCSI, integrators
have more flexibility. They may use RS-232C or the existing FC cable instead.
In-band SCSI is particularly useful when creating a new RAID. In order for a host to “see” the
controller, and thus for Primary and Secondary agents, and Altos RAIDWatch Manager to manage
the controller, it must first be configured as a peripheral device. In-band SCSI allows you to do this
using a terminal emulation program.
