Abstract: Technology is disclosed for stack isolation in a storage system including a storage network switch and multiple storage sub-systems (e.g., storage stacks). The storage network switch includes multiple ports and at least one of the ports is configured to dynamically connect to a device that can be either a storage controller device or a storage sub-system. The technology can receive an identification message indicating that a device is connected to a port of a storage network switch, determine based on the identification message at the storage network switch whether the device is a storage controller device or a storage sub-system, and transfer messages between the ports of the storage network switch such that the storage network switch prevents communications between storage sub-systems connected to the storage network switch, but allows communications between the storage sub-systems and storage controller devices connected to the storage network switch.

Abstract translation: 公开了用于包括存储网络交换机和多个存储子系统（例如，存储堆栈）的存储系统中的堆叠隔离的技术。 存储网络交换机包括多个端口，并且至少一个端口被配置为动态地连接到可以是存储控制器设备或存储子系统的设备。 该技术可以接收到指示设备连接到存储网络交换机的端口的识别消息，基于存储网络交换机上的识别消息来确定设备是存储控制器设备还是存储子系统，并且传送 存储网络交换机的端口之间的消息，使得存储网络交换机防止连接到存储网络交换机的存储子系统之间的通信，但允许存储子系统与连接到存储网络交换机的存储控制器设备之间的通信。
