Abstract
Disclosed is a SCSI target device simulator consisting of a personal computer, a SCSI host adapter board, and simulator software. The SCSI target device simulator is employed to test SCSI host adapter systems by simulating multiple SCSI target devices for test purposes. The simulated SCSI target devices may be configured to imitate a wide variety of different SCSI target device types, with an equally wide variety of configuration settings within a single SCSI target device type. A user may quickly create and change simulated SCSI target devices for a test system. The SCSI target device simulator may also be configured so that the simulated SCSI target devices respond in a specified manner to SCSI commands and SCSI task management commands. Controlling the simulated SCSI target device responses to SCSI commands and SCSI task management commands allows a user to easily configure and test a SCSI host adapter device for specific operational scenarios.
