Sun Datapath Policies for Disks and Disk Arrays

 
By Sun Storage Software Team, August 2007  

This document contains policies for disk and disk array implementations. This document is limited to datapath interfaces and does not address policies related to physical interfaces or management interfaces independent from the datapath. The software considered includes drivers for the Solaris OS version 9 and later, and management applications that issue SCSI, Fibre Channel, and iSCSI commands.

Although disks and arrays implement many standard interfaces, there are still numerous problems with lack of interoperability. These areas of non-interoperability stem from gaps in standards, standards that have changed over time, overlapping standards, standards that do not meet the needs of the industry, and differing interpretations of the standards. This document defines standards that apply to Sun products in order to minimize these areas of non-interoperability.
