Theory of Operation
Logical Unit Numbers (LUN)
A SCSI device may contain up to eight sub-devices or Logical Units,
assigned Logical Unit Numbers (LUN) 0 7. SmartRAID V controllers
support multiple LUNs. However, most devices other than bridge
controllers consist of only one LUN and are accessed as LUN 0 by
SmartRAID V controllers.
Bridge Controllers
Bridge controllers are single devices that can, in turn, control multiple
peripheral devices. These devices may be disk drives configured as a
remote RAID subsystem. Each of the peripheral devices attached to the
bridge controller is assigned a Logical Unit Number. A SmartRAID V
controller supports 250 physical devices. These devices can be individual
SCSI IDs for actual physical devices or LUNs within an ID (such as on a
bridge controller).
Commands and Messages
All SCSI commands are supported by SmartRAID V. SmartRAID V
controllers pass through any SCSI command from the host computer to
the SCSI peripheral device.
SmartRAID V also supports one byte, two byte, and extended messages,
such as Initiator Detected Error, Parity Error, Simple Queue, Wide
Negotiation and Synchronous Negotiation. The SCSI message protocol is
normally handled automatically by SmartRAID V controllers without
requiring intervention by the host computer. This allows much faster SCSI
protocol handling and reduces the load on the host CPU, freeing it for
other tasks.
Disconnect/Reconnect
SmartRAID V provides full support for Disconnect and Reconnect
commands by SCSI peripheral devices. All Disconnect/Reconnect
commands are handled automatically by SmartRAID V controllers,
without host intervention.
Disconnection allows a SCSI device or controller to temporarily release
control of the SCSI bus, during periods of non-activity while a SCSI
command is in process, so that another SCSI device can share the bus.
