Availability With two units, dual loop attachment
provides redundancy and no single point
of failure.
Connectivity SCSI devices may be attached to Fibre
Channel storage networks to share data
and increase address space.
Distance SCSI cable length from hosts to devices is
increased from 25m to 10,000m, facilitating
remote or disaster tolerant sites.
Performance 100 Mbytes/sec Fibre Channel (200
Mbytes/sec bi-directional) offers increased
bandwidth when distributing data across
multiple SCSI devices.
Reliability Low error rates, robust error recovery and
flow control provide an enterprise with
reliable data delivery.
Scalability Point-to-point links can be expanded to
multi-initiator links supporting
interconnected servers, tape drives, tape
libraries, disk drives and disk arrays.
Flexibility Allows Fibre Channel initiators to
communicate with SCSI targets, as well as
SCSI initiators to communicate with Fibre
Channel targets, simultaneously.
FCR200 Benefits 2-7
Consolidation Allows multiple servers to share storage
resources, including tape drives, tape
libraries, disk drives and disk arrays.
Centralization Enables existing storage to be moved to a
central location to simplify management
and maintenance, and to improve security.
Lower TCO Improving storage management,
maintenance and security can lower Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO) for enterprise
storage.
How the FCR200 Works
The FCR200 is a storage router that translates Fibre Channel
Protocol (FCP) to and from two SCSI buses so devices on these
two types of media can communicate with each other. It
attaches to either a Fibre Channel or SCSI host, and transfers
the command, data, and status information to SCSI or Fibre
Channel targets. The host passes packets to SCSI or Fibre
Channel targets as if the FCR200 were just another device
along the path.
The FCR200 provides connections for two SCSI buses and a
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop or Switched Fabric. It takes
advantage of Fibre Channel’s ability to encapsulate SCSI
protocol packets to allow a host with a FC or SCSI adapter to
access SCSI or FC peripheral devices transparently over a FC
connection.
Figure 2-6 on page 2-9 shows a Fibre Channel-to-SCSI
configuration. Through the FCR200 router, any host on the
Fibre Channel loop can access the tape drive and library on
each SCSI bus.
2-8 Description
62-9301-01
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.
Operating as Both a SCSI and Fibre Channel Device 2-9
Mapping Devices
To allow Fibre Channel and SCSI devices to address each
other, the FCR200 creates a table that maps device identifiers
between Fibre Channel and SCSI. During FCR200
configuration, you can choose the mapping method and, in
certain cases, customize the device mappings. See
for more information about address modes and their
configurations.
Processing SCSI Information
The following describes how the router processes SCSI
information. Refer to Figure 2-7 on page 2-11.
1 A FC host issues a command. The FC host
encapsulates the command in the FCP protocol and
sends the packet to the FCR200.
2 The FC port in the FCR200 receives the packet,
interprets the FC information, and places the
packet in buffer memory.
Chapter 5
3 The FCR200’s processor interprets the information
and programs a SCSI controller to process the
transaction.
4 The SCSI controller sends the command to the SCSI
device (target).
5 The target interprets the command and prepares to
either read or write data.
