  • PROXYING MULTIPLE TARGETS AS A VIRTUAL TARGET USING IDENTIFIER RANGES
    Publication number: 20100011114
    Abstract: A gateway includes a Fibre Channel (“FC”) port configured to couple to multiple FC targets, and an iSCSI port configured to couple to an iSCSI initiator. The iSCSI port is configured to facilitate communication between the FC targets and the iSCSI initiator, and proxy the multiple FC targets as a virtual iSCSI target. The iSCSI port is also configured to divide the Logical Unit Number (“LUN”) range into a plurality of subdivided LUN ranges, and associate the FC targets with the subdivided LUN ranges.

  • PROXYING MULTIPLE INITIATORS AS A VIRTUAL INITIATOR USING IDENTIFIER RANGES
    Publication number: 20090234959
    Abstract: A gateway includes a Fibre Channel (“FC”) port configured to couple to a FC target, and an internet small computer system interface (“iSCSI”) port configured to couple to iSCSI initiators. The iSCSI port is configured to facilitate communication between the iSCSI initiators and the FC target, and proxy the iSCSI initiators as a single virtual FC initiator. The iSCSI port is also configured to divide the FC Origination Exchange Identifier (“OX_ID”) range into a plurality of subdivided communication identifier ranges, and associate the iSCSI initiators with the subdivided communication ranges.
