CSA ISO/IEC 14776-224:20

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 SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) 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 14776-224:2019 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA Group will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC.

This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope

This part of ISO/IEC 14776 defines a fourth version of the SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP). This standard is a mapping protocol for applying the SCSI command set to Fibre Channel. This standard defines how the Fibre Channel services and the defined Information Units (IUs) are used to perform the services defined by the SCSI Architecture Model - 5 (SAM-5). This fourth

version includes additions and clarifications to the third version (ISO/IEC 14776-223:2008), removes information that is now contained in other standards, and describes additional error recovery capabilities for the Fibre Channel Protocol.
