Page 273: C Automatically Linked Partitioning
Automatically Linked Partitioning Today, tapes hold hundreds to thousands of gigabytes of data. Typically, the data is "stacked" on the media as different data sets and each data set has different expirations. When the expiration occurs, there is wasted space on the tape. Over time the wasted space becomes large enough where customers must reclaim the tape, which can consume many hours.
Page 274: Inquiry Command
Inquiry Command Inquiry Command The following changes apply to the Inquiry data that can be returned. Standard Inquiry Data ALP Bit The Standard Inquiry Data has been modified to return Byte 55 Bit 5 as the ALP bit. An ALP bit set to zero indicates that the logical unit does not support the Automatic Link Partition feature.

Page 281: Ssa Command
SSA Command This vendor unique command is used to search for information on the currently mounted media. All searches are initiated at the current device location. The search is complete when the specified search data is found, EOD is detected, or a filemark is encountered (see option flags).
Page 282 Parameter Value Data Block Offset When enabled by the option flags below, this offset indicates the exact position in a data block where the search should find the specified search data. If the search data is not found at the exact specified offset, then the search proceeds to the next data block (if one) and examines that block at the exact specified offset (and so on until an EOD or a filemark is encountered per the option flags below).
Page 283: Glossary
Glossary This glossary defines terms and abbreviations used in this manual. For definitions of other Fibre Channel or StorageTek terms refer to the glossary in the appropriate document. Numbers 8B/10B A type of encoding and decoding algorithm of bytes, invented and patented by IBM, to reduce transmission errors.
Page 284 Acknowledge A response or confirmation to an address, message, or poll. Additional Sense Bytes The additional sense bytes contain data specific to either or both the command or peripheral device, and further define the nature of the FCP_SNS_INFO feature of the FCP_RSP payload.
Page 285 Arbitrated Loop A topology in Fibre Channel that provides multiple connections for devices that share a single loop, over which only two devices can communicate at once. Similar to the SCSI protocol of the same name, it provides an “arbitrate and win” scenario between more than two devices when those devices want to communicate on the bus.
Page 286 Channel An I/O interface between a central processor and peripheral device in which large amounts of data are transferred at the highest rate of speed possible for the transmission medium. Class of Service The Fibre Channel method of defining a data transmission strategy between devices. There are three FC Classes of Service currently specified in the FC-PH-1, and StorageTek’s implementation includes only one, Class 3.
Page 287 DF_CTL Data field control indicates optional headers in the frame. Data Integrity Field. Data Integrity Validation. Disassembly The process of splitting out a source buffer into payloads. These payloads are then transmitted in frames. Discover Address (ADISC) The Discover Address command used in Extended Link Services. It is invokable when originated by the initiator, required as a response by the drive, and prohibited when originated by a drive.
Page 288 EOF Delimiter End-of-Frame Delimiter. EOFa End of frame abort. EOFn End of frame normal. EOFni End of frame normal invalid. EOFt End of frame terminate. Error Detect Timeout Value The minimum period of time that an L_Port can wait for the sequence to complete before initiating a recovery action.
Page 289 Fabric The FC topology that is similar to a telephone switch in that the initiator of a “call” to the receiving port simply provides the receiver with the port address, and the fabric routes the transmission to the proper port. A fabric differs from a point-to-point or arbitrated loop topology in that it provides for interconnections between ports without having a point-to-point connection.
Page 290 FCP_CMND Fibre channel SCSI-3 command service request. FCP_DATA The action of delivering data. FCP_RSP SCSI-3 response such as Status. FCP_XFER_RDY The request for date. FDACT Fabric deactivate alias_ID FDDI Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). FDISC Discover F_Port Parameters (FDISC). Fiber A wire or strand of optical cable.
Page 291 FLOGI Fabric Login. Flow Control The process of limiting the number of single frames or groups of frames received by the receiving port. This is accomplished using a credit system. See Buffer-to-Buffer Credit (BB_Credit) and End-to-End Credit (EE_Credit). Frame An indivisible, encapsulated data structure containing a beginning-of-frame (BOF) and end-of-frame (EOF) designator, which carries a payload of both control data and user data from one FC port to another.
Page 292 High Performance Parallel Interface The NCITS standard that defines high-speed information transfer using dual simplex, over a short parallel bus. HIPPI High Performance Parallel Interface. Host A processor, usually composed of a CPU and memory, that typically communicates with peripheral devices over channels and/or networks, to perform I/O operations such as network control.
Page 293 Invokable A function of Fibre Channel that allows a feature to be used between an initiator and a recipient (such as cartridge subsystem). Thus, if a feature or parameter is invoked, the recipient must implement and respond to the feature or parameter. Internet Protocol.
Page 294 Link Services Command Reject The code returned by a recipient device (such as a cartridge subsystem) receiving a request for Extended Link Services which are unsupported. The recipient returns a reason code of “Command not supported.” Linking (1) The activity of connecting one inbound fiber and one outbound fiber to a port. (2) The activity of linking commands, as identified in the INquiry data, where the flag bit of the Command Descriptor Block is set to zero.
Page 295 Logical unit number. A SCSI device address. Abbreviation for megabyte (2 or 1,048,076 bits). MB/s Abbreviation for megabytes per second. Mb/s Abbreviation for megabits per second. MB/sec Abbreviation for megabytes per second. Mb/sec Abbreviation for megabits per second. Mode Select Command The command used in Fibre Channel that specifies operational parameters and options for a logical unit.
Page 296 Network An arrangement of nodes and branches, connecting data processing devices to one another via software and hardware links, to facilitate information interchange. NL_Port An N_Port within the Node which also contains the Loop Port State Machine as defined in FC-AL-2. The NL_Port attaches to either an FL_Port or an NL_Port through a link.
Page 297 Parallel Transmission The transmission of bits over multiple fibers, either copper or glass, all at one time, and accomplished by dedicating each fiber to transmitting one bit at a time. This high speed transmission method is good for short distances only. Contrast with serial transmission.
Page 298 Private Loop Direct Attach Defines a subset of standards for operations of serial devices (tape drives) on a private loop. Private NL_Port An NL_Port that does not attempt a Fabric Login. PRLI See Process Login. PRLO See Process Logout. Process Login (PRLI) The Process Login command used in Extended Link Services.
Page 299 R_CTL The Routing Control field in the frame header contains a routing bits sub-field, which has specific values indicating that FC-4 data will follow. It also contains an information category field, which indicates to the recipient the type of data that the frame contains.
Page 300 Request Sequence Initiative The Request Sense Initiative Command used in Extended Link Services. It is invokable when originated by the initiator, allowable as a response by a drive, is required when originated by a drive, and requires a response by an initiator. Required The state of a function, parameter, or operation of FC required to be implemented by both the initiator and target.
Page 301 SCSI See Small Computer System Interface. SCSI Commands The SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) commands issued by either the initiator or target in an arbitrated loop topology, to perform a specific SCSI task. There is a direct correspondence between the SCSI task and the FC exchange. A Fibre Channel exchange can correspond directly to either a single SCSI command, or group of linked SCSI commands.
Page 302 SOFn3 The abbreviation for Start of Frame Normal Class 3 delimiter. Start-of-Frame Delimiter A delimiter used to mark the beginning of a frame, as well as specify the class of service used for the frame. switch In Fibre Channel technology, a device that connects Fibre Channel devices together in a Fabric.
Page 303 VolSafe A Sun StorageTek feature that provides write once, read many (WORM) technology to VolSafe-designated tape cartridges. VolSafe only permits new data to be appended to data currently on the tape. Once written, the data cannot be overwritten. Verify To End-of-data. World Wide Name (WWN) A 64-bit integer that identifies a Fibre Channel port.
