Lower TCO – Improving storage management, maintenance and security can lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

for enterprise storage.

How the PowerVault 35F Works

The PowerVault 35F is a storage bridge that translates Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to and from two SCSI buses so

devices on these two types of media can communicate with each other. It attaches to a Fibre Channel host, and

transfers the command, data, and status information to SCSI targets. The host passes packets to SCSI targets as if the

PowerVault 35F were just another device along the path.

The PowerVault 35F provides connections for two SCSI buses into a Fibre Channel environment. It takes advantage of

Fibre Channel’s ability to encapsulate SCSI protocol packets to allow a host with a Fibre Channel adapter to access

SCSI peripheral devices transparently over a Fibre Channel connection.

Figure 3. Fibre Channel-to-SCSI configuration

Figure 3 shows a Fibre Channel-to-SCSI configuration. Through the PowerVault 35F bridge, any host on the Fibre

Channel loop can access the tape drive and library on each SCSI bus.

Introducing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide

file:///C|/Users/rishi_sood/Desktop/35F/ug/intro.htm[3/21/2013 11:16:17 AM]

Operating as Both a SCSI and Fibre Channel Device

The bridge is both a SCSI and Fibre Channel device operating on a SCSI bus and Fibre Channel network

simultaneously.

The SCSI Side

On a SCSI bus, the PowerVault 35F acts as a SCSI initiator passing requests from hosts on the Fibre Channel network

to target devices on the SCSI bus. Each PowerVault 35F SCSI bus uses a single SCSI ID. The default ID is 7 and can

be changed when configuring the PowerVault 35F.

The Fibre Channel Side

In a Fibre Channel loop, the PowerVault 35F is identified by a single Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA) or a

fabric assigned Source ID. Once the address is acquired, any host on the Fibre Channel loop can access the devices on

a SCSI bus transparently over a Fibre Channel connection.

Mapping Devices

To allow Fibre Channel and SCSI devices to address each other, the PowerVault 35F creates a table that maps device

identifiers between Fibre Channel and SCSI. During PowerVault 35F configuration, you can choose the mapping

method and, in certain cases, customize the device mappings. See Understanding the PowerVault 35F Configuration

for more information about address modes and their configurations.

Processing SCSI Information

The following describes how the bridge processes SCSI information:

1. A Fibre Channel host issues a command. The Fibre Channel host encapsulates the command in the Fibre

ChannelP protocol and sends the packet to the PowerVault 35F.

2. The Fibre Channel port in the PowerVault 35F receives the packet, interprets the Fibre Channel information, and

places the packet in buffer memory.

3. The PowerVault 35F’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).
