I agree that if feels odd at first to see SCSI referred to in the
same sentence as NFS. However, once both are travelling over the network,
they're not all that different, except that SCSI has a simpler model
of sharing.

I can access a disk as one large NFS file and it will look a lot like
SCSI.

I don't think everybody agrees that requirements analysis is phase one.
