Abstract
Systems and procedures are provided to enable large size fixed block architecture (FBA) device support over FICON. The FBA devices may have a size greater than 2 terabytes. For example, in known storage systems, an FBA device size may be 64 terabytes and an architecture provided for 512-terabyte devices, and the described system supports such large, or even larger, FBA devices. The system may be used with existing fixed block command sets.
