Network storage target boot and network connectivity through a common network device |
摘要 |
The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to booting to a network storage target. In general, in one implementation, a bus-to-network device driver is loaded during a machine boot, where the bus-to-network device driver is capable of sending machine bus commands over a network, providing access to the network for a network device driver, and distinguishing between received responses to the machine bus commands and other network traffic corresponding to the network device driver. Loading of the bus-to-network device driver can occur in response to an operating system load of bus drivers. For example, the bus-to-network device driver can be an iSCSI driver, and the operating system load of bus drivers can be the operating system load of SCSI drivers. |

1. A system comprising:
at least one local system bus; modular elements, each modular element being removably coupled with the at least one local system bus; a network device operationally coupled with the at least one local system bus; a device driver that operates the network device and supports booting to a remote boot device; and a network driver that communicates with the network device through the device driver, presents itself to an operating system as a network device driver that operates the network device, and supports general purpose network traffic. |
