SU (Subdevice) Objects
Figure 2-6 shows the differences between initiator and responder subdevices along with
their relationship to subdevices in underlying subsystems.
SCF Commands for the SU Object
The following SCF commands are valid for SU objects:
ABORT
LISTOPENS
NAMES
STATS
STATUS
SU Object States
During its lifetime, the SU object can have only one state: STARTED.
FTAM subdevices are generated automatically and cannot be created through SCF. You
can, however, discard a subdevice through SCF by issuing the ABORT SU command. In
addition, when you issue the ABORT PROCESS command, all subdevices associated
with the specified process are discarded. Note that subdevices that exist (even responder
subdevices that are waiting for an association) are always considered to be in use;
therefore, the STOP SU command is not defined for FTAM.
