Patent number: 8077730Abstract: Systems particularly a virtualization switch or a storage device, which include virtual ports connected to virtual devices with virtual worldwide names and virtual LUNs. Because Fibre Channel environment hosts can track worldwide names from one port to another and allow continuity in that regard, the virtual worldwide names are provided with relevant virtual LUNs and connected these to virtual ports so that the virtual devices can be moved as desired to overcome failures or to allow load balancing.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2009Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.Inventors: Naveen S. Maveli, Subhojit Roy, Richard L Hammons, Carlos Alonso

Patent number: 7269168Abstract: Placing virtualization agents in the switches which comprise the SAN fabric. Higher level virtualization management functions are provided in an external management server. Conventional HBAs can be utilized in the hosts and storage units. In a first embodiment, a series of HBAs are provided in the switch unit. The HBAs connect to bridge chips and memory controllers to place the frame information in dedicated memory. Routine translation of known destinations is done by the HBA, based on a virtualization table provided by a virtualization CPU. If a frame is not in the table, it is provided to the dedicated RAM. Analysis and manipulation of the frame headers is then done by the CPU, with a new entry being made in the HBA table and the modified frames then redirected by the HBA into the fabric. This can be done in either a standalone switch environment or in combination with other switching components located in a director level switch.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignee: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.Inventors: Subhojit Roy, Richard A. Walter, Cirillo Lino Costantino, Naveen S. Maveli, Carlos Alonso, Michael Yiu-Wing Pong
