A SAN Data Sharing System Based on Third-party Data Transfer
Zhang Yan-yuan · Jisuanji yingyong yanjiu · 2005
A heterogeneous data sharing system for Storage Area Network (SAN) is presented. A method for dynamically (creating) the mapping relationship among metadata server is suggested, which shared disks and their storage paths. Third-party data transfer in our system is based on the mapping relationship. More advanced functions such as multiple paths failover (and load) balance are also implemented by extending the mapping relationship. Because the mapping relationship is created (dynamically,) the whole system can scale well.
