    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining traffic characteristics and statistics for storage area network flows. An intelligent line card associated with a fibre channel switch is used to snoop selected flows in a storage area network. Flows are characterized using information such as initiator target pairs and initiator target LUN groupings. Selected flows are configured for monitoring and information about the selected flows is maintained. Selected flow information can be analyzed at a line card associated with a fibre channel switch.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for performing SPAN for a virtual port are disclosed. Specifically, a frame is received from a first port. The frame or a copy thereof is transmitted to a second port, where the second port is identified in a header of the frame. At least one of the first port and the second port is a virtual port. The frame or a copy thereof is also transmitted to a third port, thereby enabling an analyzer coupled to the third port to analyze traffic received by the third port.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a network device receives a port login directed to a target from a first host. The network device determines whether at least one other host is currently logged in to the target. The network device may then send a port login to the target corresponding to whether at least one other host is currently logged in to the target.

    摘要: Disclosed is a data recovery mechanism associated with a data writing process in a storage area network (SAN). In general, a data writing mechanism is provided so that a particular host can write data to a storage device in a particular SAN session. One specific example of a data writing mechanism is a data tapping mechanism that provides a copy of this data to an appliance. The data recovery mechanism allows the appliance to recover data from the particular target, for example, when the data was unsuccessfully mirrored to the appliance during the data tapping or when the appliance needs to obtain the data that was written prior to a data tapping procedure being initiated. In one embodiment, the data recovery mechanism is set up so that the appliance can recover data from the target by mimicking the particular host.
