摘要: An improved method of having an SCSI controller provide a logical connect between plurality host processors using single initiator. The contains removable adapters for connection to any type processor interface. When requests status information target device, that is passed the requesting and subsequently stored in made available all other processors. In addition, fault tolerant performance monitoring algorithm, executing within controller, scheduled non-intrusively periodically check each device store advantage such by only initiator, can independently logically through initiator without clearing This particularly advantageous when adapted function local area network (LAN) arrangement wherein significant number are data.
