The Fibre Channel Consultant: A Comprehensive Introduction ReviewFirst off let me begin this review by saying that if you are just an ordinary IT administrator that just happens to own some SAN equipment, this book is probably overkill. This book goes into detail intended for those that must diagnose issues in Fibre Channel line traces, frame by frame. That information is not particularly interesting to someone that does not own or use a Fibre Channel trace tool. For more general books, along with advice on network design, look elsewhere.
This book is intended for someone that is so immersed in the Fibre Channel protocol that the ANSI standards committee's web site is near the top of their bookmark list. (FYI it is www.t11.org) The essential idea behind this reference is to provide a quick introduction to fibre channel, and then dive right in to going over the spec. It is far more readable than the formal standards documents. However, if you are not used to reading protocol references (such as RFC's), the book may be somewhat hard to follow.
It should be noted that this book does not cover Arbitrated Loop, FCP (essentially SCSI over Fibre Channel), SAN Design or any of the FC-SW standard (such as FSPF). You will need separate books for those. FC-AL and FC-SW are covered in other books by Kembel. For a similar book on SCSI (by Deming), google for "SCSI Solution Technology". (It is not available through Amazon.)The Fibre Channel Consultant: A Comprehensive Introduction OverviewNote: This book is no longer available in a hardcover edition. For the softcover edition, search on ISBN: 978-0-931836-10-7
