NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER EMULATION

摘要

Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software for network interface controller emulation. In one example, a method of operating a storage subsystem coupled with a host includes emulating, to a main processing system on the host, a network connection through an emulated network interface controller (NIC) to a storage volume. The method further includes receiving, over a bus between the main processing system and the storage subsystem, a data request originated by the main processing system and directed to the emulated NIC that requests access to the storage volume. The method also includes providing the main processing system with the access to the storage volume via the emulated NIC as if the storage volume were accessible over the network connection.

1. A method of operating a storage subsystem coupled with a host, the method comprising:
emulating, to a main processing system on the host, a network connection through an emulated network interface controller (NIC) to a storage volume; receiving, over a bus between the main processing system and the storage subsystem, a data request originated by the main processing system and directed to the emulated NIC that requests access to the storage volume; and providing the main processing system with the access to the storage volume via the emulated NIC as if the storage volume were accessible over the network connection.
