Chapter 2 Overview of CCI Operations

2.8.7.1 Command Competition

The CCI commands are asynchronous commands issued via the SCSI interface. Accordingly, if
several processes issue these commands to a single LDEV, the storage system cannot take
the proper action. To avoid such a problem, two or more WR commands should not be issued
to a single LDEV. The command initiators should not issue two or more WR commands to a
single LDEV unless the storage system can receive commands with independent initiator
number * LDEV number simultaneously.
