ABSTRACT:
A method to provide an operation to an information storage device is disclosed. The method supplies an information storage device and a protocol conversion device capable of receiving an operation in a first communication protocol comprising a variable attribute, and providing that operation to the information storage device in a second communication protocol, where that second communication protocol does not support the variable attribute. The method provides an operation to the protocol conversion device using said first communication protocol, and determines if the variable attribute is configured in that operation. If the method determines that the variable attribute is not configured in the operation, then the method provides the operation to the information storage device using the second communication protocol. If the method determines that the variable attribute is configured in the operation, then the method implements that variable attribute when providing the operation to the information storage device using the second communication protocol.
