    This chapter provides an overview on FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining (Device Extension), LUN discovery, and dynamic and static mapping. FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining on the UltraNet Edge 3000 allows tape backup performance over distances up to thousands of miles. It performs over long distances without the distance performance penalty found in non-pipelined operations.
