Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Troubleshooting Guide
Fibre Channel Tape Controller II
The Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Tape Controller II (FCTC-II) is a 1U (1.7-inch tall)
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge that allows a differential SCSI tape device to communicate with
other devices over a Fibre Channel. The tape controller is designed to work as part of an
Enterprise Backup Solution.
Figure 1-20. Compaq Fibre Channel Tape Controller II
The Compaq Fibre Channel Tape Controller II connects a Fibre Channel link to a SCSI bus. The
tape controller connects to a Fibre Channel Storage Hub through a fiber cable, and also connects
to a SCSI bus device (a secondary tape storage system) using the conventional SCSI interface
and cables. After the tape controller has been installed and connected to the other components in
the Enterprise Backup Solution, its operations are transparent to the application clients.
NOTE:
The Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Tape Controller II is designed to work
with multiple servers, Fibre Channel Storage Hubs, and tape storage devices. For
additional information on system configurations, search the Compaq website for the white
paper on this subject at www.compaq.com.
