Abstract
In a data processing system having few initiators or several initiators with the same parameters, support for all initiators is provided by storing sets of parameters and corresponding lists of initiator IDs in cache entries. Based on the initiator ID in a selection command, the target selects the appropriate parameters and automatically transitions to data transfer mode. Low cost support for all initiators is thus provided.
