1、INCITS TR-24-1999Information Technology Tape and Tape Medium Changers (FC-TAPE)NCITS TR-24-1998NCITS Technical ReportFibre Channel Tape and Tape Medium Changers (FC-TAPE)SecretariatInformation Technology Industry CouncilAbstractThis profile selects and restricts logical options from the Fibre Channe
2、l Physical and Signalling, FibreChannel Protocol for SCSI, Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop, and Small Computer Systems Interface stan-dards, such that any devices complying with this profile should interoperate.This Technical Report is one in a series produced by the National Committee forInformation
3、Technology Standards (NCITS). The secretariat for NCITS is held bythe Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), 1250 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200,Washington, DC 20005.As a by-product of the standards development process and the resources ofknowledge devoted to it, NCITS from time to time produces
4、Technical Reports.Such Technical Reports are not standards, nor are they intended to be used assuch.NCITS Technical Reports are produced in some cases to disseminate thetechnical and logical concepts reflected in standards already published or underdevelopment. In other cases, they derive from studi
5、es in areas where it is foundpremature to develop a standard due to a still changing technology, orinappropriate to develop a rigorous standard due to the existence of a number ofviable options, the choice of which depends on the users particular requirements.These Technical Reports, thus, provide g
6、uidelines, the use of which can result ingreater consistency and coherence of information processing systems.When the draft Technical Report is completed, the Technical Committee approvalprocess is the same as for a draft standard. Processing by NCITS is also similar tothat for a draft standard.CAUT
7、ION: The developers of this Technical Report have requested that holdersof patents that may be required for the implementation of the Technical Report,disclose such patents to the publisher. However, neither the developers nor thepublisher have undertaken a patent search in order to identify which,
8、if any, patentsmay apply to this Technical Report.As of the date of publication of this Technical Report and following calls for theidentification of patents that may be required for the implementation of theTechnical Report, no such claims have been made. No further patent search isconducted by the
9、 developer or the publisher in respect to any Technical Report itprocesses. No representation is made or implied that licenses are not required toavoid infringement in the use of this Technical Report.NCITSTechnicalReportSeriesPublished byAmerican National Standards Institute11 West 42nd Street, New

Devices that operate in a Public arbitrated loop environment are by definition capable of oper-ating in a Private arbitrated loop environment. The primary objective of this technical report is theprecise definition of those options so that devices conforming with this profile are guaranteed to oper-ate. A second objective of this technical report is to simplify implementations and their associateddocume
