SCSI Targeting

This appendix describes the following topics:
Relationship of the SPARCstorage Library to the SCSI Bus
SCSI Guidelines
The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is a standard specification
allowing a host computer system and targets, such as the SPARCstorage
Library, to communicate across a SCSI bus. The physical components of the
SCSI system consist of the following:
•

Initiator or host

•
SCSI targets
•
SCSI bus
A SCSI host adapter card, such as the SSHA, SBE/S, or FSBE/S, installed in a
computer system, allows the computer to act as the initiator of commands on
the SCSI bus. The initiator has a unique SCSI ID on the SCSI bus used to
identify itself during SCSI communication.
