Abstract
Systems and procedures are provided to enable fixed block architecture (FBA) device support over fiber connections using transport mode protocol. The FBA devices may have a size greater than 2 terabytes. The system may be used with existing fixed block command sets according to the transport mode protocol. The existing fixed block command sets may be extended to permit addressing of greater than 2 terabytes. The transport mode protocol may be based on a high performance protocol implementation that facilitates processing of I/O requests.
