61 
62 @section scif_introduction_section Introduction
63 
64 The SCI Framework component provides SAS and SATA storage specific abstraction
65 to any OS driver devoid of this type of functionality. The functionality
66 provided by this component is of a higher nature and considered unnecessary
67 for some driver environments.  Basically, a user should be able to utilize
68 the same SCI Framework with different SCI Core implementations, with the
69 little to no changes necessary.
70 
71 @warning In situations where the SCI framework is utilized, users should NOT
72          invoke core methods on core objects for which there are associated
73          framework objects and framework methods. Therefore, if a method is
74          common to both the core and the framework object, do not invoke the
75          core method if utilizing the framework.  Some exceptions to this
76          exist and are called out.  It is important to mention that methods
77          found only in the core are safe to invoke at times specified per
78          that methods definition.
79 
80 The following is a list of features found in an SCI Framework implementation:
81 
82 -# SCI Core management
83 -# Port configuration scheme enforcement.  There are 2 port configuration
84 schemes:
85   -# Automatic Port Configuration (APC).  In APC mode the framework will
86      allow for any port configuration based on what is physically connected,
87      assuming the underlying SCI Core also supports the configuration.
88   -# Manual Port Configuration (MPC).  In MPC mode the framework expects the
89      user to supply exactly which phys are to be allocated to each specific
90      port.  If the discovered direct attached physical connections do not match
91      the user supplied map, then an error is raised and the initialization
92      process is halted.
93 -# Domain Discovery
94 -# Domain level resets (i.e. bus reset)
95 -# Task management processing
96 -# Controller Shutdown management (e.g. release STP affiliations, quiesce IOs)
97 -# Remote Device Configuration. Potential features:
98   -# SSP: maybe mode selects to set timers or modify DIF settings.
99   -# STP: IDENTIFY_DEVICE, SET FEATURES, etc.
100   -# SMP: CONTROL type requests to set timers.
101 -# SAT Translation (Actually contained in SATI component)
102 -# SMP Zoning management

106 @note
107 For the SCU Driver Standard implementation of the SCI Framework interface the
108 following definitions should be used to augment the cardinalities described
109 in the previous diagram:
110 -# There are exactly 4 scif_domain objects in the scif_controller.  This
111    number directly correlates to the number of scic_port objects in the core.
112 -# The maximum number of supported controllers in a library is a truly flexible
113    value, but the likely maximum number is 4.
