This interface is used to transfer user data between the
ETD and the host. When the host transfers user data to
the ETD through this interface, the ETD encrypts and
writes the data to the magnetic media. When the host
receives user data from the ETD through this interface,
the ETD delivers data read from the magnetic media
that has been decrypted by the ETD. For details, see
[ETDIM].
The interface can be configured to support one of two
protocols:
1)
Fibre Channel, in accordance with the Fibre
Channel Protocol-3 (FCP-3), SCSI Primary Commands-
3 (see [SPC-3]), and SCSI Stream Commands (SSC-3)
specifications (see [SSC-3])
2)
FICON, in accordance with the Fibre Channel
Single-Byte Command Code Sets-3 Mapping Protocol
(FC-SB-3), Revision 1.6 specification (see [FC-SB-3])
