Processing SCSI Information The following section describes how the bridge processes SCSI information when attached to FC hosts. (See Figure 8 on page 21.) 1. A FC host issues a command. The FC host encapsulates the command in the FC protocol and sends the packet to the bridge. 2. The FC controller in the bridge receives the packet, interprets the FC information, and places the packet in buffer memory. 3. The bridge'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 SCSI target interprets the command and executes it. 6. Data flows between the FC host and SCSI target through payload buffers. (See Figure 8 on page 21.) 7. Response information flows from the SCSI target back to the FC host. (See Figure 9 on page 21.) 20 Processing SCSI Information Chapter 1
