ABSTRACT:
A method for performing a data exchange between an initiator and a receiver in a fiber channel protocol (FCP) is provided. A control flag is set in a write command to indicate the presence of an identifier. The identifier is copied into a command descriptor block (CDB) of the write command and appended to a data frame. The write command and data frame, including the identifier, is sent from the initiator to the receiver.
