ABSTRACT:
A network SCSI apparatus and method that comprises a network SCSI device driver which presents a SCSI device interface to a host computer for transmitting SCSI commands in packets over a network to one or more network SCSI applications servers on other computers at separate physical locations connected to local SCSI devices. In a preferred embodiment, the network SCSI device driver enables programs executing on the host computer to treat the local SCSI devices at the remote locations as though they were at the same location as the host computer, thereby overcoming limitations on the number of target devices available at the host site, as well as physical distance limitations imposed by SCSI device standards.
