17.4.1 Register FC-4 Types (RFT_ID)

The drive uses RFT_ID to register its FC-4 type, (SCSI-FCP), with the Fabric Name Server. An RFT_ID request is sent to the
well-know address FFFFFCh (Fabric Name Server) and must be attempted after a successful FLOGI.

Table 83: RFT_ID payload

As with all Common Transport requests, the payload of an RFT_ID starts with the CT_IU header. The FCS_Type value of the
CT_IU Header is set to FCh to indicate a Directory Service Request, while the FCS_Subtype value is set 02h to indicate that
the request is directed to the Name Server. The Command code is set to 0217h to specify an RFT_ID request. For an
RFT_ID_ACC/RJT, the Command/Response code is set to 8001h for a RFT_ID_RJT and 8002h for RFT_ID_ACC. If the
response was a FA_RJT, the Reason Code, Reason Code Explanation, and Vendor Unique fields would be set to indicate which
error condition occurred. The drive does not check any other fields in an FS_ACC/RJT payload.

The Supported FC-4 Bitmap indicates which FC-4 protocols the RFT_ID requestor supports. The drive sets the eighth bit of
this bitmap to indicate that it supports FC-4 type 08h (SCSI-FCP).
