Hi all i am a newbie to storage industry but would like to change my newbie lable , i was going through a doc but got confused with following emerging technologies and protocols
can some one explain me whats the difference between 1) FCP 2) iscsi 3) FC/IP and 4) iFCP
as per my understand FCP and ISCSI is a replacement of each other means FCP works by encapsulating scsi in to the fiber channel where as iscsi works by encapsulating scsi into IP
i also understands that FC/IP is used to bridge multiple SAN's which are geographically saperated using a traditional IP network by encapsulating fiber channel frames within TCP ,
but please let me know what iFCP its function , and i am very intrested in knowing is it possible to replace any of these protocols with the other one ? i mean do they provide options for each other ? or for some other purpose ?
