Systems, devices, apparatus, and methods for identifying stored data by a device located in a path between virtual Fibre channel switches and performing a data management service |
摘要 |
A first port of a device is connected to a first switch port of a first virtual switch defined within a switch device and a second port of the device is connected to a second switch port of a second virtual switch defined within the switch device. A target world wide port name of a target port of a storage system connected to the second virtual switch is identified by the device. The first port of the device is registered, in a first registration procedure, with the first virtual switch based on the target world wide port name. Registration information relating to an initiator port of a server that is associated with the target port is received in a second registration procedure. An initiator world wide port name of the initiator port of the server is determined based on the registration information. A storage volume in the storage system that is associated with the initiator port is identified based on the initiator world wide port name of the initiator port. |

1. A method of providing data management services, the method comprising:
connecting a first port of a device to a first switch port of a first virtual switch defined within a switch device and a second port of the device to a second switch port of a second virtual switch defined within the switch device; identifying, by the device, a target world wide port name of a target port of a storage system connected to the second virtual switch; registering, in a first registration procedure, the first port of the device with the first virtual switch based on the target world wide port name; receiving, in a second registration procedure, registration information relating to an initiator port of a server that is associated with the target port; determining an initiator world wide port name of the initiator port of the server, based on the registration information; and identifying a storage volume in the storage system that is associated with the initiator port, based on the initiator world wide port name of the initiator port. |
