3 Definitions, abbreviations and conventions
3.1 Definitions
3.1.1 access controls: Mechanisms allowing a managing application client to control the set of initiators that
have access to a target. The access control is enforced by the target. See SPC-3.
3.1.2 access controls data: Information sent to the target by the managing application client that is used by
the target to control the set of initiators that have access to the target. See SPC-3.
3.1.3 access controls enrollment state: A state established in the target by the managing application client.
The state governs the behavior of the target in controlling the set of initiators that have access to the target. See
SPC-3.
3.1.4 acknowledged class: Any class of service that acknowledges transfers. Acknowledged classes of
service include Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4 service. See FC-FS.
3.1.5 address identifier: An address value used to identify source (S_ID) or destination (D_ID) of a frame.
See FC-FS.
3.1.6 application client: An object that is the source of SCSI commands. See SAM-2.
3.1.7 application client buffer offset: Offset in bytes from the beginning of the application client’s buffer
(data-in or data-out) to the location for the transfer of the first byte of a data delivery service request. See SAM-2.
3.1.8 autosense data: Sense data (see 3.1.51) that is returned in the FCP_RSP IU payload. See SAM-2.
3.1.9 command: A request describing a unit of work to be performed by a device server. See SAM-2.
3.1.10 command descriptor block: A structure used to communicate a command from an application client
to a device server. See SAM-2.
3.1.11 data buffer size: Upper limit on the extent of the data (data-in or data-out) to be transferred by the SCSI
command. See SAM-2.
3.1.12 data in delivery service: A confirmed service used by the device server to request the transfer of data
to the application client. See SAM-2.
3.1.13 data out delivery service: A confirmed service used by the device server to request the transfer of data
