    Abstract: A diagnostic testing utility is used to perform online path diagnostic tests to troubleshoot components in a path that contribute to performance degradations and check application level data integrity, while traffic is allowed to flow as normal. To perform the diagnostic tests, two HBA or CNA ports at each end of a path are identified and used to send test frames to perform the diagnostic tests. The entire diagnostic procedure is performed without taking any ports or servers offline.

    Abstract: A storage area network (SAN) fabric stores configuration information for servers connected to the SAN fabric. Configuration data can include target boot device address, topology configuration, etc. The configuration data is stored in a zone database as a zone member list. The zone database is accessible via a name server. To boot from a target boot device connected to the SAN fabric, the server first logs in to the fabric to register with the name server. The server then sends a configuration query to the name server. The name server replies with a member list that includes the address of the target boot device. The server establishes communication with the target boot device and accesses the boot code. The server then runs the boot code to initiate the boot process.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates quality of service (QoS) in a Fiber Channel (FC) host bus adaptor (HBA). In this system the bandwidth on an FC link between the HBA and the FC switch can be allocated into a plurality of logical channels, and a respective logical channel can transport data frames of variable length. Furthermore, a respective logical channel is associated with a dedicated buffer. During operation, the HBA communicates to an FC switch the HBA's capability of receiving or sending a data flow over a logical channel that couples the HBA to the FC switch. The HBA further receives logical-channel allocation information from the FC switch. Furthermore, the HBA associates data frames with a logical channel and transmits data frames to the FC switch on the corresponding logical channel.

    Abstract: A method of routing traffic in a switch includes forming an optimized routing table specifying for each switch ingress port an exit port to be utilized to reach a specified destination domain. The optimized routing table is formed in accordance with load distribution, oversubscription, and fragmentation criteria. The optimized routing table is distributed to a set of ingress ports of the switch. Traffic is processed at the set of ingress ports in accordance with the optimized routing table.
