SET UP OF DIRECT MAPPED ROUTERS LOCATED ACROSS INDEPENDENTLY MANAGED COMPUTE AND STORAGE NETWORKS |
摘要 |
Embodiments relate to setting up direct mapped routers located across independently managed compute and storage networks for enabling multiple modes of communication over the cross-coupled links between the networks. An aspect includes identifying a characteristic of a local entity based on a unique location identifier assigned to the local entity and learning a characteristic of a remote entity based on a location identifier received over a cross-coupled link between the local entity and the remote entity. A port on a local entity router is then correlated with the received location identifier of the remote entity. A route is then built in the direct mapped router table at a location pointed to by the location identifier of the remote entity. An optimistic failover route is established from a storage entity to a compute entity when a cross-coupled link between the storage entity and the compute entity is broken. |

1. A computer-implemented method for providing direct mapped routers located across independently managed compute and storage networks and enabling multiple modes of communication over cross-coupled links, comprising:
identifying, by a processing device, a characteristic of a local entity based on a unique location identifier assigned to the local entity; learning a characteristic of a remote entity based on a unique location identifier received over a cross-coupled link between the local entity and the remote entity; correlating a port on a local entity router with the received location identifier of the remote entity; building a route in the direct mapped router table at a location pointed to by the location identifier of the remote entity; and establishing an optimistic failover route from a storage entity to a compute entity when a cross-coupled link between the storage entity and the compute entity is broken. |
