SCSI
The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) feature offers a better utilization of the storage network resources and eliminate the need for separate parallel WAN and MAN infrastructure. Users can connect hosts to storage networks on exisiting IP networks. Since this feature utilizes the TCP/IP for data transfer, the data is existing IP- based host connections such as Ethernet.
The chapters in this guide describe the following features:
- SCSI Flow Services—A SCSI flow service used by a SCSI initiator and a target. The SCSI flow services provide enhanced features for SCSI flows, such as write acceleration and flow monitoring for statistics gathering on an SSM.
- SCSI Flow Statistics—These are the statistics that can be collected for any combination of a SCSI initiator and a target. Statistics that be collected include SCSI reads, SCSI writes, SCSI commands, and error statistics.
