Method And Apparatus For Mapping Between A Fibre Channel Network And An Infiniband Network

US Patent:
7236496, Jun 26, 2007
Filed:
Jul 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/208378
Inventors:
Daniel Chung - San Jose CA, US
Dennis Makishima - Mountain View CA, US
Brian Forbes - Foster City CA, US
Howard Green - Carlsbad CA, US
Vincent Guan - Saratoga CA, US
Grant Erickson - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370401, 370466
Abstract:
An Inifiniband (IB) network that incorporates a Fibre Channel (FC) network is disclosed. The IB and FC networks are coupled by a gateway that maps the FC network to a virtual IB network. In generating the virtual IB network, the gateway may provide a virtual IB target for each node port in the FC network, and may further provide a minimum number of virtual IB switches necessary to support the virtual IB targets. The gateway assigns a globally unique identifier (GUID) to each of the virtual IB targets, and may further associate local identifiers (LID) with the virtual IB targets. The gateway preferably emulates subnet management agents (SMA) and general service agents (GSA) of the virtual IB targets when management IB packets are received, and the gateway preferably converts non-management IB packets directed to the virtual IB targets into FC frames directed to the corresponding target FC devices.

System And Method For Providing Proxy And Translation Domains In A Fibre Channel Router

US Patent:
7466712, Dec 16, 2008
Filed:
Jul 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/903499
Inventors:
Dennis Hideo Makishima - Mountain View CA, US
Daniel Ji Yong Park Chung - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
H04L 12/56
US Classification:
370401, 370389
Abstract:
A Fiber Channel router used to join fabrics. EX_ports are used to connect to the fabrics. The EX_port joins the fabric but the router will not merge into the fabric. Ports in the Fiber Channel router can be in a fabric, but other ports can be connected to other fabrics. Fiber Channel routers can be interconnected using a backbone fabric. Global, interfabric and encapsulation headers are developed to allow routing by conventional Fiber Channel switch devices in the backbone fabric and simplify Fiber Channel router routing. Phantom domains and devices must be developed for each of the fabrics being interconnected. Front phantom domains are present at each port directly connected to a fabric. Each of these is then connected to at least one translate phantom domain. Zoning is accomplished by use of a special LSAN zoning naming convention. This allows each administrator to independently define devices are accessible.

Method And Apparatus For Transparent Communication Between A Fibre Channel Network And An Infiniband Network

US Patent:
8009693, Aug 30, 2011
Filed:
Mar 8, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/683517
Inventors:
Feejen Liao - Sunnyvale CA, US
Dennis Makishima - Mountain View CA, US
Howard Green - Carlsbad CA, US
Brian Forbes - Foster City CA, US
Daniel Chung - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Brocade Communication Systems, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04J 3/16
US Classification:
370466, 370401
Abstract:
A system and method for providing transparent communications between an Infiniband (IB) network and a Fibre Channel (FC) network are disclosed. One method comprises: (a) detecting FC node ports in the FC network; (b) creating virtual IB targets for each FC node port in the FC network; and (c) converting IB packets directed to the virtual IB targets into FC frames directed to the corresponding FC node port. It may further comprise intercepting management packets directed to the virtual IB targets and responsively emulating a subnet management agent (SMA) of the addressed virtual IB target. Another method comprises: (a) detecting IB channel adapters; (b) creating a virtual FC target for each IB channel adapter; and (c) converting any FC frames directed to the virtual FC targets into IB packets directed to the corresponding IB channel adapter. Fabric frames directed to the virtual FC targets may be intercepted and handled appropriately.
