Abstract
The SCSI control block interface provides for distributed processing of storage commands that provides transports and processing blocks the ability to interconnect with each other independent of the underlying transport or hardware architecture. The interface receives a SCSI control block from a transport and determines a storage command associated with the SCSI control block. Based upon the storage command, a particular processor that processes the storage command is determined. The SCSI control block is routed to the appropriate processor for processing. After processing, the SCB is routed to a transport for delivery.
