20110219151Generation of a Formatted Unique Device Identifier From an AT Attachment Serial Number - A Network Address Authority (“NAA”) identifier associated with a storage device is generated from an Advanced Technology Attachment (“ATA”) serial number, or other identifier, associated with the storage device. The ATA serial number is received from the storage device and used to generate a unique string having a predefined length. In one embodiment, a hash function is applied to the ATA serial number to produce a unique value from the ATA serial number and a portion of the unique value, such as the least significant three bytes, is used as the string having the predefined length. Additional identifying data is combined with the predefined length string and reformatted to generate the NAA identifier. For example, an eight-byte data packet including a four-bit type identifier, a three-byte OUI and the three-byte predefined length string is generated and subsequently used to identify the storage device to processes or devices.09-08-2011
20110219141Modification of Small Computer System Interface Commands to Exchange Data with a Networked Storage Device Using AT Attachment Over Ethernet - A process executed by a computing device uses commands having a first format to exchange data through a network with a storage device configured to execute commands having a second format. A storage device controller identifies a command type associated with a command received from the process and identifies one or more physical memory addresses associated with the command. The storage device controller identifies a command having a second format associated with the received command and generates a network request including the command having the second format, the one or more physical memory addresses, a device identifier associated with the storage device and a tag. The network request is transmitted through a network to the storage device which executes the command having the second format. For example, an AoE request including an ATA command is generated from a received SCSI command.09-08-2011
