ZONING DATA TO A VIRTUAL MACHINE |
摘要 |
In a method to zone data to a virtual machine, support information is exchanged between a physical controller and an expander, the support information comprising an indication of an ability of the physical controller and the expander to support thereon a set of virtual controllers and a set of virtual physical layers (virtual PHYs), respectively. In response to a positive indication sending a list of SAS addresses to the expander, a list of SAS addresses is sent to the expander. Then, a first SAS address of the list of SAS addresses is assigned to a first virtual PHY of the set of virtual PHYs, wherein the assigning is performed by the expander, and wherein the first virtual PHY at an assigned SAS address corresponds to a first virtual controller of the set of virtual controllers. |
