1 Introduction The Chaparral FS2620R router is a Fibre Channel (FC)-to-Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) router that enables connectivity between SCSI devices and storage area networks (SANs). The router provides Fibre Channel connection to SCSI devices allowing them to be attached to either a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) or switched fabric. The router allows SCSI and Fibre Channel devices to communicate seamlessly by converting data to the appropriate protocol and routing i

FS2620R Rack Model User’s Guide About Serverless Backup and Restore Recent advances in data protection architectures have added the ability to backup data by moving it directly from disk to tape without first passing through a backup server. This is called serverless backup, and it utilizes a new SCSI command, Extended Copy (EC). A host is involved in executing the EC command, though it is typically not the server. The Chaparral family of Intelligent Storage Routers is enabled to execute th
