摘要：A communications layer is provided between a host-based SCSI initiator and aSCSI target device to fully automate the validation process. The communications layerallows the host to direct variation and modification of the target parameters and

behavior using vendor unique commands. The behavioral modification aims to establishinteroperability by conforming the behavior of the target to the host behavior. The host-based initiator transports a suitable command structure to the target device containingappropriate ones of the vendor unique commands and associated parameter data. Thetarget executes and otherwise processes the command structure to effectuate areconfiguration according to the specifics of the command code. The command code issufficient to fully reconfigure the SCSI target. Accordingly, the reconfiguration process iscarried out in a fully automated fashion.
