Figure 2-6 Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Configuration
Operating as Both a SCSI and Fibre Channel Device
The router is both a SCSI and Fibre Channel device operating on a SCSI bus and Fibre Channel network simultaneously.
The SCSI Side
On a SCSI bus, the FCR200 acts as a SCSI initiator passing requests from hosts on the Fibre Channel network to target devices on the SCSI bus. Each FCR200 SCSI bus uses a single SCSI ID. The default ID is 7 and can be changed when configuring the FCR200.
The Fibre Channel Side
In a Fibre Channel loop, the FCR200 is identified by a single Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA) or a fabric assigned Source ID. Once the address is acquired, any host on the Fibre Channel loop can access the devices on a SCSI bus transparently over a FC connection.
