Title: A method and system for un-tagged command queuing
Inventor: ARROYO KEITH M
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-04-11
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for processing tagged commands from a Fibr e Channel host (14, 22) in a Fibre Channel network (10) to one or more SCSI streaming target devices (18, 28, 32, 34) through an SCSI route (16, 30). Th e method includes the step of determining whether the command is a tagged command. If the command is a tagged command, then the command processing method of the current invention determines whether the intended target devic e (18, 28, 32, 34) is a streaming target device. If the intended target device  (18, 28, 32, 34) is a streaming target device, the method and system of the present invention can convert the command's format from a tagged command format to an un-tagged format and forward the command to the intended target  device (18, 28, 32, 34). Flags in an internal SCSI router register (17, 19) can be set to track which, if any, devices attached to the SCSI router (16, 30) can support tagged commands. Upon completion of the command, the method of the present invention can forward the command complete message to the issuin g Fibre Channel host (14, 22).

Abstract: Une lisse d'usure rectangulaire et auto aiguisante pour un ski de motoneige: elle comprend une lame centrale rectangulaire encastrée au milieu d'un support aussi rectangulaire et mince. La dureté du support est inférieure à celle de la lame centrale au carbure, qui peut glisser sur une surface dure comme celle d'un chemin asphalté, alors qu'elle peut creuser un sillon profond pour procurer de la conduite, de l'adhérence pour tourner sur la glace et pour protéger le support contre l'usure lors du glissement sur des chemins asphaltés ou sur des chemins de gravier gelé ou abrasif. Le support s'use lors du passage sur les chemins de gravier gelé et entremêlés à la neige mais après qu'il a une certaine protection par le carbure. Il y a toujours une différence d'usure par rapport à la différence de dureté et de hauteur entre la lame et le support, sur toute la profondeur de la lisse d'usure, la rendant ainsi auto aiguisante jusqu'à l'usure complète du carbure (30).
