Hi,
I've seen a
situation where a STP Initiator opens a connection to STP Target/SATA Bridge.
The STP Target sends back OPEN Accept and then starts sending DATA or DMA Setup
or DMA Activate FISs. As per SAS-2:
7.12.2.1
Connection request
The OPEN address frame (see 7.8.3) is used to open a connection
from a source port to a destination port
using one source phy and one destination
phy.
If the STP Target is
the Source Port shouldn't the connection be opened from the STP Target? Is it
acceptable the STP Initiator to open a connection if the STP Target will be the
source port?
Thanks,
Marian
