Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the prior art, the name service information of the storage device is not registered to the switch at one time, but needs to be registered to the switch through multiple name service registration request processes, resulting in frequent exchanges of RSCN messages and GE_ID messages between switches. This increases the traffic burden on the network, and there are redundant updates caused by frequently operating the same data entry, and makes each switch need to frequently process name service information, increasing the processing burden of each switch

Embodiment Construction

[0039] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for notifying an RSCN message, which can be applied to an FC network including storage devices (such as servers and disk arrays) and multiple switches, such as figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0040] In step 201, the switch determines that the name service information of the storage device changes. Among them, the name service information of the storage device changes specifically: the storage device registers the name service information of the storage device (such as registering through the name service registration request), or the storage device updates the name service information of the storage device (such as through the name service registration request to update), or the storage device cancels the name service information of the storage device (for example, the switch determines that the link between the switch and the storag...

Abstract

The invention discloses a RSCN message notification method and equipment. The method includes: when the switch determines that the name service information of the storage device changes, it inquires whether the switch has recorded the RSCN message corresponding to the FC_ID of the storage device If not, then utilize the reason that the current name service information of the storage device changes to generate the RSCN message of the storage device, and record the correspondence between the FC_ID of the storage device and the RSCN message, as the corresponding The relationship sets the aging timer; if yes, then maintains the RSCN message corresponding to the FC_ID of the storage device, and updates the aging timer of the storage device; after the aging timer expires, the switch sets the aging The RSCN message corresponding to the timer is sent to other switches. In the embodiment of the present invention, the traffic load in the network can be reduced, and the processing load of each switch can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method and equipment for notifying an RSCN message. Background technique [0002] With the continuous growth of Internet applications, the server needs to store more and more information, which leads to the continuous increase of the storage capacity of the server. When the internal storage capacity of the server cannot meet the demand for information growth, it is necessary to "externalize" the storage of the server. To this end, SAN (StorageAreaNetworks, storage network) provides a dedicated external storage environment for servers to meet the storage, access and backup needs of large-capacity and highly reliable information. FC (FibreChannel, Fiber Channel) is a widely used protocol in SAN, and FC network can transmit upper layer protocol data, including SCSI (SmallComputerSystemInterface, small computer system interface), IP, VIA (cluster virtual interface), HIPPI (h...
