Commands; Overview; Table 3-1 Supported Scsi Commands - Oracle StorageTek T10000 Reference Manual

This chapter defines the SCSI-3 commands for the StorageTek T10000 Tape Drive with
a Fibre Channel interface.

Overview

StorageTek uses the SCSI-3 command set to transfer commands and data over Fibre
Channel. The following describes how StorageTek implements these SCSI commands:
• A single command may transfer one or more logical blocks of data.
• The target may disconnect from the arbitrated loop to allow activity by other SCSI
devices while a device prepares to transfer data.
• On completion of normal commands (successful or unsuccessful), the target
returns a Status Byte to the initiator. Because most error and exception conditions
cannot be adequately described with a single status byte, a Check Condition status
code indicates that additional information is available in the FCP Response
Information Unit (IU).
• An initiator should never attempt to send a second command to a device until the
command in progress ends. The second command terminates with a Check
Condition status (Command Overrun).
