Drivers for IP SAN

• Traditional SAN enables the transfer of block I/O over


FibreChannel and provides high performance and
scalability
 These advantages of FC SAN come with the additional cost of
buying FC components, such as FC HBA and switches.
• Organizations typically have an existing Internet
Protocol (IP)-based infrastructure, which could be
leveraged (use to maximum advantage) for storage
networking.
 Advancements in technology have enabled IP to be used for
transporting block I/O over the IP network.

EMC Proven Professional. Copyright © 2012 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Module 6: IP SAN and FCoE 4
Drivers for IP SAN (contd.)

• IP SAN transports block-level data over IP network


• IP is being positioned as a storage networking option
because:
 Existing network infrastructure can be leveraged
 Reduced cost compared to investing in new FC SAN hardware
and software
 Many long-distance disaster recovery solutions already
leverage IP-based network
 Many robust and mature security options are available for IP
network

EMC Proven Professional. Copyright © 2012 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Module 6: IP SAN and FCoE 5
IP SAN Protocol: iSCSI

• IP based protocol that is used to connect host and


storage
 A transport layer protocol that describes how Small
Computer System Interface (SCSI) packets should be
transported over a TCP/IP network.
• Carries block-level data over IP-based network
• Widely adopted for connecting servers to storage
because it is relatively inexpensive and easy to
implement

iSCSI Protocol Stack
• SCSI is the command protocol that works at the application layer of the Open
System Interconnection (OSI) model
• Initiators and targets use SCSI commands and responses to talk to each other
• Commands, data, and status messages are encapsulated into TCP/IP and
transmitted across the network between the initiators and targets
• iSCSI is the session-layer protocol that initiates a reliable session between
devices that recognize SCSI commands and TCP/IP
• Responsible for handling login, authentication, target discovery, and
session management

iSCSI Protocol Stack (contd.)
• TCP is used with iSCSI at the transport layer to provide reliable transmission
• TCP controls message flow, windowing, error recovery, and
retransmission.
• Rely upon the network layer of the OSI model to provide global
addressing and connectivity.
• The Layer 2 protocols at the data link layer of this model enable node-to-
node communication through a physical network.

iSCSI Discovery
• For iSCSI communication, initiator must discover location and
name of target on a network
• iSCSI discovery takes place in two ways:
Internet Storage Name
SendTargets discovery
Service (iSNS)
• Initiator is manually • Initiators and targets
configured with the register themselves with
target’s network portal iSNS server
• Initiator issues • Initiator can query iSNS
SendTargets command; server for a list of
target responds with available targets
required parameters

EMC Proven Professional. Copyright © 2012 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Module 6: IP SAN and FCoE 19
iSCSI Name
• iSCSI name is a unique iSCSI identifier that is used to identify
initiators and targets within an iSCSI network
• Two common types of iSCSI names are:
 IQN: iSCSI Qualified Name
 To use IQN, the company must own a registered domain name
 A date is included in the name to avoid potential conflicts caused by
the transfer of domain names
 iqn.2008-02.com.example:optional_string
▪ Example: iqn.1992-05.com.emc:apm000339013630000-10
 The optional_string can be the name of the host, serial number,
asset number or any other storage identifier
 EUI: Extended Unique Identifier
 Use the WWN (World Wide Name)
 eui.0300732A32598D26

EMC Proven Professional. Copyright © 2012 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Module 6: IP SAN and FCoE 20
IP SAN Protocol: FCIP
FCIP
FCIP is an IP-based protocol that is used to connect distributed
FC SAN islands
• Combines advantages of Fibre Channel and IP
• Enables distributed FC SAN islands to be interconnected over the
existing IP-based networks
• Creates virtual FC links over existing IP network that is used to
transport FC data between different FC SANs
• Encapsulates FC frames onto IP packet
• Extensively used in disaster recovery implementations in which
data is duplicated to the storage located at a remote site

EMC Proven Professional. Copyright © 2012 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Module 6: IP SAN and FCoE 21
FCIP Topology
• FCIP gateway is connected to each fabric via a standard FC connection
• FCIP gateway at one end of the IP network encapsulates the FC frames into IP
packets
• FCIP gateway at the other end removes the IP wrapper and sends the FC data to
the layer 2 fabric
• Fabric treats these gateways as layer 2 fabric switches
• IP address is assigned to the port on the gateway, which is connected to an IP
network.
• After the IP connectivity is established, the nodes in the two independent fabrics can
communicate with other
Servers Servers

FCIP Frame
• Encapsulation of FC frame on to IP packet could cause the IP
packet to be fragmented
• When an IP packet is fragmented, the required parts of the
header must be copied by all fragments
• When a TCP packet is segmented, normal TCP operations are
responsible for receiving and re-sequencing the data prior to
passing it on to the FC processing portion of the device

Lesson 2: Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)


During this lesson the following topics are covered:
• Drivers for FCoE
• Components of FCoE network
• FCoE frame mapping
• Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE)

EMC Proven Professional. Copyright © 2012 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Module 6: IP SAN and FCoE 25
Drivers for FCoE
• Data centers have multiple networks to handle various types of I/O
traffic
 Ethernet network for TCP/IP communication: used for client-server
communication, data backup, infrastructure management
communication, and so on.
 FC network for FC communication: used for moving block-level
data between storage and servers.
• To support multiple networks, servers in a data center are equipped
with multiple redundant physical network interfaces—for example,
multiple Ethernet and FC cards/adapters.
• To enable the communication, different types of networking switches
and physical cabling infrastructure are implemented in data centers.
• The need for two different kinds of physical network infrastructure
increases the overall cost and complexity of data center operation.

EMC Proven Professional. Copyright © 2012 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Module 6: IP SAN and FCoE 26
Drivers for FCoE (contd.)
• FCoE is a protocol that transports FC data over Ethernet network
(Converged Enhanced Ethernet)
• FCoE is being positioned as a storage networking option
because:
Reduces the number Reduces cost and
Reduced power and

• Enables • Lower capital • Lower Total Cost of • Reduces power and

Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE)
• Conventional Ethernet is lossy in nature, which means that
frames might be dropped or lost during transmission
• Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) provides lossless Ethernet
 Eliminates the lossy nature of Ethernet
• Lossless Ethernet requires following functionalities:
1. Priority-based flow control (PFC)
2. Enhanced transmission selection (ETS)
3. Congestion notification (CN)
4. Data center bridging exchange protocol(DCBX)

EMC Proven Professional. Copyright © 2012 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Module 6: IP SAN and FCoE 39
Lossless Ethernet : (1) Priority-Based Flow Control (PFC)
• Traditional FC manages congestion
through the use of a link-level,
credit-based flow control that
guarantees no loss of frames.
Typical Ethernet, coupled with
TCP/IP, uses a packet drop flow
control mechanism. The packet
drop flow control is not lossless
• PFC provides a link level flow
control mechanism
• Creates eight virtual links on a
single physical link
• Uses PAUSE capability of
Ethernet for each virtual link • A virtual link can be paused and
restarted independently
• PAUSE mechanism is based on
user priorities or classes of service

Lossless Ethernet : (2) Enhanced Transmission Selection
(ETS)
• Allocates bandwidth to different traffic classes such as LAN, SAN,

particular class of traffic does not use its allocated bandwidth
