1 Interface Implementation HP Ultrium drives use SCSI-3 as the interface to connect to the host system. This chapter gives an overview of how the interface operates. Full details of the messages are given in Chapter 2 and of commands in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. The SCSI interface The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is an industry standard, approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). You are recommended to read the ANSI standard document in conjunction with this manual

A UNIT ATTENTION condition is set, based on the type of reset The drive will respond to INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, REPORT LUNS and REQUEST SENSE within 250 ms of the reset line being released. The first command from any initiator (other than INQUIRY, REQUEST SENSE and REPORT LUNS) will result in CHECK CONDITION status with UNIT ATTENTION sense data for the reset. Note that all commands will receive BUSY status until the drive has completed its internal reset. The Reset button on the front

If Information Units is enabled (parallel SCSI only), the drive will drop the bus on detecting a CRC error during a LQ_IU. If the CRC error occurs during the Information Units command phase or data out phase, the drive will return CHECK CONDITION with a CRC error. Additional sense is set to 4703h (Information Unit CRC error detected). On detecting an Initiator Detected error, the drive will return CHECK CONDITION with additional sense of 4800h (initator detected error message received). The

Sense Data, Unit Attention and Deferred Errors are maintained for each initiator. Mode Parameters are common to all initiators. The untagged queuing model implemented by the drives guarantees that all commands are executed in strict order of receipt. Certain non-media access type commands, such as TEST UNIT READY, INQUIRY, REQUEST SENSE and REPORT LUNS, are implicitly allowed to queue-jump other media access type commands, such as REWIND. The parallel SCSI drive supports the full command que

IEEE Company ID (24 bits). Assigned by IEEE to the company. Vendor Specified ID (36 bits). Assigned by the company. Addresses Each Fibre Channel port also has a Port Address which is assigned during loop initialization and/or Fabric Login. This is a 24-bit value in the following format: The AL_PA is the Arbitrated Loop Physical Address. This is normally assigned dynamically during loop initialization. If the loop is not attached to a fabric (in other words, when it is private,) the top two

The values of the names can be obtained using the Device Identification Vital Product Information Page (part of the INQUIRY command). Implications for libraries Normally a standalone drive will operate using its own ‘hard’ names. The drive knows it is in a library or other ‘managed’ environment since one of the signal lines on the ACI (Automation Control Interface) will be tied down. In this case, the drive will not go on the FC loop until it is told to. The library can optionally downloa
