The secretariat for INCITS is heldby the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), 1250 Eye Street, NW, Suite200, Washington, DC 2005.As a by-produc
7、t of the standards development process and the resources ofknowledge devoted to it, INCITS from time to time produces Technical Reports.Such Technical Reports are not standards, nor are they intended to be used assuch.INCITS Technical Reports are produced in some cases to disseminate thetechnical an
8、d logical concepts reflected in standards already published or underdevelopment. In other cases, they derive from studies 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 ofvi
9、able options, the choice of which depends on the users particular requirements.These Technical Reports, thus, provide guidelines, the use of which can result ingreater consistency and coherence of information processing systems.When the draft Technical Report is completed, the Technical Committee ap
10、provalprocess is the same as for a draft standard. Processing by INCITS is also similarto that for a draft standard.PatentStatementCAUTION: The developers of this Technical Report have requested that holdersof patents that may be required for the implementation of the standard, disclosesuch patents
11、to the publisher. However, neither the developers nor the publisherhave undertaken a patent search in order to identify which, if any, patents mayapply to this Technical Report. As of the date of publication of this Technical Report and following calls for theidentification of patents that may be re
12、quired for the implementation of theTechnical Report, no such claims have been made. No further patent search isconducted by the developer or the publisher in respect to any Technical Report itprocesses.

39、ecifies which features shall be used (i.e., required) and which features shallnot be used (i.e., prohibited) by interoperating compliant Fibre Channel implementations. Use ofsome features is optional (i.e., allowed). The use of such functions is either negotiated in a fixed andstandard manner or the
40、 availability of the functions for use shall be determined in a standard manner.The relationship between use as specified in this technical report and support as implemented by aproduct is subtle. If this technical report specifies that a feature shall be used, then a compliant imple-mentation shall
41、 support it. In some cases, this technical report is asymmetric: to ensure interoperabil-ity when an optional feature is used, this technical report requires support for the infrastructurerequired to use the feature without specifying that the feature be used to conform to this technical re-port.The
42、 requirements of this technical report are a proper subset of the various relevant standards. Thistechnical report prohibits use of many features and options in these standards. Use of prohibited fea-tures may prevent interoperability with Fibre Channel devices complying to this technical report. Th
43、istechnical report does not prohibit implementation of features, only their use. Functions that are man-datory in the appropriate base standard are assumed to be implemented. Implementations may sup-port features whose use is prohibited by this technical report and such prohibited features may bereq

These tables indi-cate whether the feature is Required, Prohibited,
45、 Invocable, or Allowed for compliance with this tech-nical report; or whether a parameter is Required to be a particular value for compliance with thistechnical report. Features or parameters that are not listed do not affect interoperability.In several tables within this technical report, there are
46、 references to notes associated with the table.These notes are normative and are mandatory requirements of this technical report.-,-,-INCITS TR-39-20053.8.2 Feature Set Table Terms and DefinitionsCopyright American National Standards Institute Provided by IHS under license with ANSINot for ResaleNo
