Manufacturer's product description
The SNC is the interface between storage and Open System Host interfaces and provides Fiber Channel to SCSI connectivity as well as the ability to manage the library and other devices within the storage network. The SNC provides two Fiber Channel interfaces. The FC interfaces are configured with Giga Bit Interface Converter (GBIC) modules. In addition, the SNC has four Ultra2 SCSI interfaces. The Ultra2 interfaces are Low Voltage Differential (LVD). The SNC maps addresses across and between these different interfaces and preserves the persistency of the address maps across power ups of systems, devices, and the SNC. The SNC supports the attachment of up to 2048 unique devices across multiple interfaces. The SNC processes SCSI-3 and SCSI-2 protocols for disk, tape, and tape medium changer devices. It can report the host and devices that are attached to its interfaces. The SNC has the capability to manage the access security between end points on the Fiber Channel interfaces and the SCSI channels. The SNC is aware of the hosts and devices that are attached to its interfaces and provides access security between hosts and devices. Access security between different hosts and devices is a requirement for multi-initiator SAN solutions. Using the ADIC Management Console you can partition the SAN for different levels of access and performance. The SNC can move data directly between storage devices that are attached to it. This direct movement of data can be from disk to disk, disk to tape, tape to disk or tape to tape.
