SANBlaze Technology INC
Target Emulation
SANBlaze target emulation systems for FCoE, Fibre
Channel and SAS provide a virtual, extremely cost-efficient configurable
environment for SAN product development, testing and QA.
The systems reduce the need to deploy large farms of physical “scratch”
disks or tapes, providing port density, high performance, non-volatile
media at a fraction of the cost of physical disks or tapes.
The ability to add latency, have differing read/write sizes, inject a
wide variety of errors and save and restore multiple disk configurations
provides a flexible and invaluable tool for development, test and QA
labs.
Flexible User Interface
Powerful web-based GUI allows you to quickly create, save and restore
multiple configurations. For OS testing, easily save and restore various
formatted disk configurations. Efficiently build a large number of
formatted drives or tapes, create a predictable bad drive or integrate
error conditions with very specific trigger events. Real time
statistics, trace mode and a script building tool are all available from
the GUI. From a single console, multiple systems can be configured and
tests run simultaneously. All emulator functionality is also available
from a CLI interface and can be automated using batch scripting.
Configurability
In target mode, each emulator port can be configured to simulate a
wide range of disk or tape configurations, for a single device to many
hundreds, all with programmable size, speed, profile and behaviors. When
using both target and initiator modes, a device under test (DUT) can be
connected to two ports on a SANBlaze system, one configured as
initiator, one configured as a target. The DUT can then be exercised and
tested using one system, with traffic generated and/or errors injected
on either side with the ability to generate custom commands and
responses.
Vendor Specific Devices
With the profiling functionality the system can be configured to
simulate a specific vendor device such as a drive, tape or array.
Numerous parameters can be configured such as vendor ID and world wide
node name to simulate a specific device. Mode, diagnostic and custom
inquiry pages can be defined, edited and written to create vendor
specific test environments. Profiles can be built by attached target
devices directly to the system and running the unique Profile Builder
application.
Scalability
Target mode emulation can allow for one device or hundreds of devices
to be emulated. Test cases can be saved and restored with a single
command or mouse click, instantly changing the target environment from
one configuration to another.
Performance
If you want to test at full line rate speeds, real drives do not keep
up and have mechanics that add latency to reads and writes. SANBlaze
systems can act as a wire speed target devices. BlazterMode operation
allows for full line rate performance for most supported protocols.
