1.0 Publication overview This publication provides some general information about Fibre Channel as well as detailed information about how Seagate disc drives implement Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop technology. This publication will continue to be revised as Fibre Channel technology advances and as Seagate Fibre Channel drives change to meet data storage needs. You will observe that many references are made to SCSI throughout this publication. This is because Fibre Channel transports the SCSI

1.3 General interface description This manual describes the Seagate Technology LLC Fibre Channel/SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) as implemented on Seagate Fibre Channel (FC) disc drives. The disc drives covered by this manual are classified as intelligent peripherals. The interface supports multiple initiators, self-configuring host software, automatic features that relieve the host from the necessity of knowing the physical architecture of the target (logical block addressing is used)

2.0 Introduction to Fibre Channel Fibre Channel is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) interface that acts as a general transport vehicle to simultaneously deliver the command sets of several existing interface protocols including SCSI-3, IPI-3, HIPPI-FP, IP, and ATM/AAL5. Proprietary and other command sets may also use and share the Fibre Channel, but these are not yet defined as part of the Fibre Channel standard. Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) is one topology used to con

Networks Networks allow many devices to communicate with each other at will. This is usually accompanied by software support to route transactions to the correct provider and to verify access permission. Networks are used for transferring data with “error-free delivery” and voice and video where “delivery on time” is the primary require- ment with error-free delivery being a secondary consideration. For example, when transferring video, it is more important to provide on-time delivery of data

Each topology, command set, and pro- tocol has its own standard. These are all separate to allow future growth and to allow designers to more easily use only those parts that affect their products.
