I am currently preparing for an exam.
I thought FC (Fibre Channel) was the transport protocol for SCSI and SAN.
But now I read, that you have to decide if you want to use FC (SCSI), SAS or iSCSI in an SAN-Network.
Why can't you use SAS with Fibre Channel?
And that leads me to another question:
FC is designed for serial transport while SCSI is a parallel protocol.
If the transport is serial and you have a point to point connection via FC-Switches, isn't that SAS?
How do the two protocols (FC+SCSI) fit together?
Can someone help me with this topic, since I'm really confused right now...
Many thanks in advance! :)
Kind regards,
Nic
