Glossary
CDB
Command Descriptor Block
A series of data which describes commands related to input/output operations,
sent from the initiator to the target.
Command
This is a command to a target to perform an input/output operation, and it is
described as the CDB.
Common Command Set (CCS)
SCSI standard logical specifications established by a working group of the
American National Standard Institute (ANSI). Requirements and features
for supported direct-access devices (e.g., hard disk devices) are stipulated
with the CCS.
FC Device
The general name given to a device which is connected to the FC bus
(input/output device, I/O controller, host adapter, etc.).
Initiator (INIT)
This is a FC device which initiates input and output operations on the FC bus. In
this manual, initiator has been abbreviated to "INIT."
Sense Code
This is a 1-byte code displayed in the sense data and is information which
specifies the type of error that was detected.
Sense Data
When several items of error information are included in a command's completion
status, this is information generated by the target for reporting detailed
information on that status.
Sense Key
This is a 4-bit code displayed in the sense data. It contains information for
classifying the type of error that was detected.
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
Input/output interface standardized by the American National Standard Institute
(ANSI)
[Specification Number: ANSI X3.131-1986]
Status
This is 1 byte of information reported to the initiator by the target device when
execution of each command is completed, which displays the command's
completion state.
