7230929, Jun 12, 2007
Filed:
Jul 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/200393
Inventors:
Steven Manning Betker - Shoreview MN, US

Renae M. Weber - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
QLogic, Corporation - Aliso Viejo CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370254, 370360
Abstract:
A method for entering fabric configuration in a fibre channel system for a multi-module fibre channel switch is provided. The method includes determining if a primary blade has been selected for the multi-module switch; sending exchange fabric parameters to internal ports of the multi-module switch; and processing principal switch selection events.

System And Method For Optimizing Frame Routing In A Network

View page
US Patent:
7334046, Feb 19, 2008
Filed:
Aug 5, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/212425
Inventors:
Steven Manning Betker - Shoreview MN, US
Assignee:
QLOGIC, Corporation - Aliso Viejo CA
International Classification:
G06F 13/00
US Classification:
709241
Abstract:
A method for routing Fibre Channel frames in a Fibre Channel system is provided. The method compares a cost associated with a pre-programmed preferred route when the pre-programmed preferred route has been pre-programmed to route Fibre Channel frames between a source Fibre Channel port and a destination Fibre Channel port; with a cost of at least one route for routing Fibre channel frames between the source Fibre Channel port and the destination port determined by using a standard Fibre Channel Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) protocol, and using the pre-programmed-preferred route to route Fibre Channel frames if the cost associated with the pre-programmed preferred route is lower than the cost associated with the at least one route determined by the standard Fibre Channel FSPF protocol.

Method And System For Primary Blade Selection In A Multi-Module Fibre Channel Switch

View page
US Patent:
7388861, Jun 17, 2008
Filed:
Dec 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/608634
Inventors:
Steven Manning Betker - Shoreview MN, US
Timothy Vitters - Bloomington MN, US
Renae M. Weber - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
QLOGIC, Corporation - Aliso Viejo CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/24
US Classification:
370386, 370426
Abstract:
A system and method for selecting a primary blade in a multi-module fibre channel switch with plural blades is provided. The system includes a state machine for sending exchangeable blade parameter(s) (“EBP”) to the plural blades; and determining if a primary blade flag is set. If the primary blade flag is set, selecting the blade with the EBP priority number. If the primary blade flag is not selected, then selecting a blade with an EBP priority number if the EBP priority number is less than a retained priority number.

Zone Management In A Multi-Module Fibre Channel Switch

View page
US Patent:
7397768, Jul 8, 2008
Filed:
Sep 11, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/241153
Inventors:
Steven Manning Betker - Shoreview MN, US
Assignee:
QLOGIC, Corporation - Aliso Viejo CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
H04L 12/56
US Classification:
370254, 370422
Abstract:
A method for changing zoning in a fiber channel fabric is provided. The method includes receiving zone date from a management module, wherein the zone data is received by a fiber channel switch; waiting for active Zone Set; and sending a merge request to neighboring switches. The method also includes, sending Zone Merge Data Start message to the management module; sending new zone data to management module; and comparing the new zone data with current zone data. The method also includes creating acceptance message for new zoning, wherein the management module creates the acceptance message.

Fibre Channel Credit Extender And Repeater

View page
US Patent:
7443794, Oct 28, 2008
Filed:
Jun 10, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/166570
Inventors:
William R. George - Minneapolis MN, US
Steven M. Betker - Shoreview MN, US
Assignee:
QLogic Switch Products, Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
H04L 12/26
US Classification:
370231, 370235
Abstract:
The Fiber Channel Credit Extender (FCCE) () is a network device that is disposed between and connected to an end node () and an optical repeater (). The FCCE () contains as many buffer credits as necessary, to solve bandwidth problems in a network. In a situation where maximum bandwidth is required in both directions of a link, the FCCE () breaks a single logical link into three physically separated “linklets. ” The short-distance linklets attain maximum bandwidth by use of the existing buffer credits of the end nodes. The long-distance linklet attains maximum bandwidth by use of very high receive buffer credits in the FCCEs (). In this way, only those links that need maximum bandwidth over distances not covered by end-node credit counts need be attached to an FCCE (). The FCCE () contains the optical repeater to gain distance on that link, and contains high credit count receive buffers to gain bandwidth on the link. All other ports of the switch can have smaller and less expensive receive buffers.

Method And System For Lun Remapping In Fibre Channel Networks

View page
US Patent:
7593997, Sep 22, 2009
Filed:
Oct 1, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/956502
Inventors:
Frank R. Dropps - Maple Grove MN, US
Edward C. Ross - Edina MN, US
Steven M. Betker - Shoreview MN, US
Assignee:
QLOGIC, Corporation - Aliso Viejo CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
G06F 13/00
H04L 11/00
US Classification:
709212, 711111, 370374
Abstract:
A Fibre Channel switch element in a Fibre Channel network is provided. The Fibre Channel switch element includes a port that replaces a logical unit number (“LUN”) field value in a FCP_CMND frame. The port includes a LUN Mapping cache for replacing the LUN field value in a FCP_CMND frame. The LUN Mapping cache may also generate a value that is added to or subtracted from the LUN field value in the FCP_CMND frame. A control bit is used to activate LUN Mapping cache for mapping LUN values.

Method And System For Programmable Data Dependant Network Routing

US Patent:
7646767, Jan 12, 2010
Filed:
Jul 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/894978
Inventors:
Frank R Dropps - Maple Grove MN, US
Edward C McGlaughlin - Minneapolis MN, US
Steven M Betker - Shoreview MN, US
Assignee:
QLOGIC, Corporation - Aliso Viejo CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370389, 370392, 37039531, 37039532, 370404, 370359, 370428, 370429, 370474
Abstract:
A method and system for routing fiber channel frames using a fiber channel switch element is provided. The switch element includes, a hashing module whose output is used to select the column from a look up table to route frames. The method includes, indexing a look up table using domain, area, virtual storage area network identifier, a hashing module output and/or AL_PA values; selecting a column from the look up table based on a column select signal; and routing a frame if a route is valid. The hashing module takes a fiber channel header to generate a pseudo random value used for selecting a column from the look up table. The hashing module uses same field values in an exchange to generate the pseudo random value. A hash function is used on a frame's OX_ID, D_ID, S_ID, and/or RX_ID to route fiber channel frames.
