SCSI DESCRIPTION

This chapter provides a detailed description of the logical interfaces of the tape drive. The drive is fully compliant with the ANSI SCSI-2 standard for tape drive devices and implements many optional features.

3.1SCSI OVERVIEW

The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is a specification for a peripheral bus and command set that is an ANSI standard. The standard defines an I/O bus that supports up to 16 devices (wide SCSI).

ANSI defines three primary objectives of SCSI-2:

1.To provide host computers with device-independence within a class of devices

2.To be backward-compatible with SCSI-1 devices that support bus parity and that meet conformance level 2 of SCSI-1

3.To move device-dependent intelligence to the SCSI-2 devices

Important features of SCSI-2 implementation include the following:

Efficient peer-to-peer I/O bus with up to 16 devices

Asynchronous transfer rates that depend only on device implementation and cable length

Logical addressing for all data blocks (rather than physical addressing)

Multiple initiators and multiple targets

Distributed arbitration (bus contention logic)

Command set enhancement
