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

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.
