【摘要】 IP存储是当前信息技术领域中一个热门的研究方向。iSCSI技术是IP存储的底层存储协议,它的目的是在TCP/IP网络上实现SCSI传输协议。RAID(磁盘阵列)存储系统是构建大型存储系统的关键设备。现阶段RAID系统的协议接口主要采用的是光纤协议,成本高且管理复杂。随着iSCSI技术的飞速发展,支持iSCSI协议的RAID系统在国外已经发展得比较成熟。在国内,对磁盘阵列及iSCSI协议的研究由于起步较晚,取得的成果还不多,与国外相比仍有相当大的差距。实现支持iSCSI技术的RAID系统具有十分重要的意义。深入探讨了iSCSI协议的相关标准,详细论述了iSCSI的体系结构及关键技术,从会话管理和连接、命名与寻址、协议数据单元的格式、错误恢复机制等方面对iSCSI协议进行了详细分析。采用纯软件方式实现了LINUX平台下基于iSCSI协议接口的RAID存储系统。系统分为启动器和目标器两部分,启动器作为客户端发出请求,目标器作为服务器端处理请求及响应。目标器的实现包括前端驱动和中间层的实现,同时需要通过接口函数与内存管理和全局管理等RAID模块交互。简要介绍了启动器的功能及实现原理,详细分析了iSCSI目标器的功能以及实现细节,详细描述了目标器与启动器之间的交互原理及过程,具体分析了目标器对于读写命令的执行过程。搭建了一个支持iSCSI协议传输的RAID平台,通过专门的测试工具对该系统进行了测试,测试结果表明,系统在I/O传输率可以达到30MB/S左右,虽然带宽略低于光纤传输,但基本实现了支持iSCSI接口的RAID系统。更多还原

【Abstract】 IP Storage is a hot area in the current information technology field. iSCSI is a low-level protocol in the IP storage technology. Its aim is to transfer SCSI command through TCP/IP network.RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is the key element in a large-scale storage system. Currently most RAID system use Fibre Channel as their interface protocol, which is not only expensive but difficult to configure. With the rapid development of iSCSI technology, RAID systems using iSCSI protocol is becoming mature. In the domestic area, research on iSCSI is not very widely done. Implementing a RAID system supporting iSCSI protocol really means a lot.Have discussed the standard iSCSi protocol and analyzed the detail of iSCSI protocol including session management,naming and addressing,format of PDU,error recovery. Have implemented a RAID storage system using iSCSI protocol.The whole system consistes of two parts,Initiator and Target.The initiator workes as a client and target is the server.The implementation of target includes FETD and STML,and the functions to communicate with RAID module CM and GC.Describe the function of Initiator,anaylyse the detail of iSCSI Target,the communication between Initiator and Target,show the process of SCSI READ/WRITE command.Established a RAID platform supporting iSCSI protocol.Have done some test on the iSCSI storage system. The result shows it perfoms well on data rate.更多还原
