Preface

The Fibre Channel Interface Reference Manual is intended for independent software

vendors (ISVs) plus operating system designers and developers implementing Fibre

Channel on Oracle’s StorageTek T10000 Tape Drive.

This manual is also intended for solutions delivery engineers, systems engineers;

plus hardware, software, and service representatives.

This manual describes information about the StorageTek T10000A, T10000B, T10000C,

and T10000D Tape Drives. Unless otherwise specified, this information pertains to all

models of the T10000. Where information changes, the following is used to identify

them:

• 2FC = T10000A with a 2 Gb interface

• 4FC = T10000A or T10000B or T10000C with a 4 Gb interface

• 16FC = T10000D

• T10000A or T10000B or T10000C or T10000D

• FC = Fibre Channel

Overview

20 T10000: Interface Reference Manual August 2016

Overview

• Serial connection

• Copper (electrical) or fiber (optical) transmissions

• Multiple protocols (such as SCSI, IP, HIPPI, IPI-3)

• Information transparent

• 100 – 1600 MB data transfer rates

• Scalable for data rates, distance, media, and protocols

In 1994, the Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC–PH), or

ANSI X3.230–1994, was completed, differing from every other architecture at the

time. This specification married the strengths of channels, including high throughput

and low overhead, with the strengths of networks, including flexibility, long distance

capability, and high connectivity.
