SCSI BUS
(Almost completely replaced by
Serial-SCSI for single system
storage connections)
Tapes
ATA/SATA
There are 2 main hard drive interface classes
Disk available today:
Desktop / Server •ATA (used mostly in desktop and
laptop systems)
Computer •Includes SATA which is
becoming a larger presence in
SCSI Disks server class systems/arrays
•SCSI (used in server-class systems)
• includes PSCSI, FC & SAS
Note: ATA and SCSI drives with Serial attachments are called SATA and SAS
Fibre Channel
or Storage Area Network (SAN)
iSCSI With Block I/O
The iSCSI protocol enables universal access to storage devices and Storage
Area Networks (SANs) over standard TCP/IP networks
On Ethernet LANs: Copper & Optical
On ATM WANs
On SONET WANs
Wireless
Etc.

Q&A
ErrorRecoveryLevel = 0
When iSCSI detects errors it will bring down the Session (all
TCP connections within the Session) and restart it
iSCSI will let the SCSI layer retry the operation
ErrorRecoveryLevel = 1
Detected errors (Header or Data) causes PDUs to be
discarded
iSCSI will retransmit discarded commands
iSCSI will retransmit discarded data
ErrorRecoveryLevel = 2
Caused by loss of the TCP/IP connection
Connection & Allegiance reestablishment
Uses ErrorRecoveryLevel 1 to recover lost PDUs
