CSA ISO/IEC 14776-222:06 (R2021)

CSA Preface

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

At the time of publication, ISO/IEC 14776-222:2005 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC.

This International Standard was reviewed by the CSA TCIT under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Information Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. (A committee membership list is available on request from the CSA Project Manager.) From time to time, ISO/IEC may publish addenda, corrigenda, etc. The CSA TCIT will review these documents for approval and publication. For a listing, refer to the CSA Information Products catalogue or CSA Info Update or contact a CSA Sales representative. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.

Scope

This part of ISO/IEC 14776 defines a second version of the SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP). This part of ISO/IEC 14776 is a mapping protocol for applying the SCSI command set to Fibre Channel. It defines how the Fibre Channel services and the defined Information Units (IUs) are used to perform the services defined by the SCSI-3 Architecture Model - 2 (SAM-2).

This second version includes additions and clarifications to the first version, removes information that is now contained in other standards, and describes additional error recovery capabilities for the Fibre Channel protocol.
