摘要: This invention describes methods, apparatus and systems for virtualization of iSCSI storage. Virtual storage isolates the clients from management physical resources. In this invention, each device supports multiple logical units (LUNs). Each supported LUN is associated with a separate TCP port number commands received on given implicitly refer to LUN. An host addresses unit (LUN) virtual IP address number. Using an translation table, gateway rewrites destination in header incoming packet as well correspond target Migration across devices by changing entries at gateway; can be provided standard network router support translation.
