Abort Exchange (ABTX)
The Abort Exchange command can be used with Abort Sequence - Last Sequence
(ABTS - LS) (SCSI-PLDA), by itself, or with ABTS Fibre Channel Link Encapsulation
(FC-LE) protocol. The Abort Exchange Command used in the Extended Link Services,
and is prohibited when originated by the initiator, and is prohibited when originated
by a drive.
Abort Sequence (ABTS)
The protocol that is invoked by devices supporting the Fibre Channel Protocol for
SCSI to abort the exchange whenever a Sequence Error is detected. It comes in two
protocols: Abort Sequence - Last Sequence (ABTS - LS) (SCSI-PLDA), by itself, or
with ABTS Fibre Channel Link Encapsulation (FC-LE).
