ABSTRACT:
A method of communication between a local computer and an SCSI device attached to a remote computer includes receiving a command relating to a file at the remote SCSI device. The local computer creates an SCSI command which is packetized at the local computer and transferred over a network to the remote computer. The remote computer unpacks the command and sends it to the host bus adaptor driver and host bus adaptor controller for the remote device. The remote device then executes the command. Remote SCSI communication is particularly useful in mirroring applications where a complete copy of data is stored at the local location and at the remote location.
