socal(7D) Devices socal(7D)NAMEsocal - Serial Optical Controller for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop
(SOC+) device driver
SYNOPSIS
socal@sbus-slot,0
DESCRIPTION
The Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is an SBus card which implements two
full duplex Fibre Channel interfaces. Each Fibre Channel interface can
connect to a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL).
The socal device driver is a nexus driver and implements portions of
the FC-2 and FC-4 layers of FC-AL.
