C Inband SCSI-3 commands

The HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card supports a set of SCSI-3 commands that can be received inband over iSCSI/NDMP. When received by the interface card, these commands are then executed by the interface card itself.

When using SCSI-3 commands to access general management features, the commands can be sent to device LUNs that are mapped through the interface card.

The following is a list of the SCSI-3 commands that are supported by the interface card. Complete definitions of SCSI-3 commands can be found in the SCSI-3 standard available from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
