1.4.2
Arbitration
For information to be exchanged between the ports connected to a loop, generally the two
ports (send side and receive side) must occupy the loop (placed in point-to-point connection
state).
Arbitration is a process to win access right on the loop and must be done before
communicating with another port.
When the arbitration is finished, only a pair of a initiator and a target can communicate each
other on the loop.
The drive supports the method called “Access fairness”.
The process on the port supporting fairness movement is below.
a) If two or more ports request to arbitrate, the port with the highest priority (the port with
smallest AL_PA value) wins the arbitration.
b) The port once won the arbitration cannot participate in the arbitration until other port wins
the arbitration and release the loop.
This method protects that the same port uses the loop consecutively.
