FC/FCoE/iSCSI/SAS/SATA协议分析工具 analyzer, Protocol

user2005

偶发现一款好工具，感觉对于大家学习存储系统相关协议很有帮助，支持的协议解码包括FC、FCoE、iSCSI、SAS、SATA等，iFCP、FCIP等相关协议也可以。另外，结合部分TX的反馈，这是一套硬件和软件的整体解决方案，不是免费的，要花钱。大家可以到下面的网址注册下载最新的4.0软件，在安装目录下面有很多现成的抓好的FC、FCoE、iSCSI、SAS、SATA的数据，对于大家理解这些协议非常有帮助，该工具的解码界面非常类似以太网领域的Sniffer或者Ethereal，但是带一个专家系统会自动帮你分析出协议层包括上层承载的SCSI或者ATA指令的问题：

同时，偶通过仔细察看该工具的网站感觉这个东东对于大企业的数据中心的存储管理员也非常有好处，它有一个专家系统可以帮助分析出捕获的数据中的各种上层关联问题，尤其是一些性能慢、不稳定等很难找到具体根源的问题，也省得以后出现SAN问题时各个厂商扯皮了！

另外，偶也借助google的帮助从犄角旮旯里面搜索的关于该Finisar协议分析仪的一些其它信息供各位TX参考：
- 占据了SAN协议分析全球市场的90%，全球存储领域上、中、下游厂商在产品研发、测试、支持部门基本都是使用Finisar的协议分析工具。
- Finisar公司的协议分析工具被存储产业链上绝大部分厂商采用，Finisar公司的协议分析工具的文件格式是存储业界协议分析的de facto事实标准。
- Finisar独有的专家系统分析可以帮助那些即使对于协议不是非常精通的人员迅速找到问题所在，可以针对捕获的数据进行分析计算出上百种指标，例如，可以帮助客户迅速确定读命令到存储返回的第一个数据块的时间，等等。
- Finisar协议分析工具的部分国外存储领域相关厂商列举如下：
上游芯片厂商                                PMC、LSI等；
中游板卡以及部件厂商                Adaptec、Qlogic、LSI、Emulex等；
所有主流存储设备厂商               EMC、NETAPP、IBM、HP、SUN、HDS、Infortrend以及去年进入中国的3PAR等；
所有FC交换机厂商                     BROCADE（McData）、CISCO、Qlogic等；
所有硬盘厂商                              SEAGATE、WD、HITACHI、FUJITSU、LG、SAMSUNG等；

欢迎各位TX指正。

原来一直想找这方面的东西一直没有找到。我想也应该有FC的协议分析。
可惜，国内号称作存储但是不懂协议的人太多了，都自以为了解几个厂家的参数、所谓内幕就牛了。

还有，国内公司真想也在存储领域有所发展真得需要懂协议的人！

孤陋寡闻了吧，这个东东实际上存储系统厂商做SUPPORT用的很多，没有这个东西怎么排错，还不是跟以太网出问题要拿sniffer抓抓包看看一样么！
EMC公司全球的FAE/support都是用这个东东的，尤其是到大客户哪里去，尤其是很复杂的网络环境。当然，那些简单的连接问题肯定用不到这个东西。

Fibre Channel for SANs
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071374132


Editorial Reviews

Book Description
PRACTICAL ROADMAP FOR DESIGNING AND DEPLOYING A SAN Fibre Channel has come into its own as the defining network architecture for Storage Area Networks (SANs), which are proving critical for managing the volume and complexity of data generated by Internet-era applications. Fibre Channel for SANs, by Dr. Alan F. Benner, shows you how Fibre Channel works, how it integrates with other protocols and systems, and how to implement it to create a SAN for fast access to mass storage. It walks you through the ANSI standard’s 5 levels, from the physical transmission level through interfaces to upper layer protocols, and demonstrates mapping SCSI and IP over Fibre Channel. You get a wealth of timesaving illustrations and practical suggestions for troubleshooting. You learn how to:
*Build expertise in the standard used by ISPs for Web page storage, and by enterprise data centers for managing multi-Terabyte storage requirements
*Create bandwidth-sparing solutions for multimedia—voice, video, animation, music—and real-time video conferencing
*Implement logins and logouts, link services, error detection and recovery, flow control, and more

Book Info
Overview and blueprint for SAN design and deployment, and applying Fibre Channel. Features illustrations, practical suggestions for troubleshooting, direction on implementing tasks, and tools for understanding the standard used by ISPs for Web page storage and by data centers for managing multi-Terabyte storage requirements. Softcover.

From the Inside Flap
Fibre Channel is a high-performance interconnect standard capable of transporting huge amounts of traffic among desktop workstations, mass storage subsystems, peripherals, and host systems at speeds 10 to 250 times faster than typical LANs. Briefly eclipsed by Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel has come into its own again as the defining network architecture for Storage Area Networks (SANs), which are proving critical for managing the volume and complexity of data generated by Internet-era applications. Design and Deploy a SAN with Step-by-Step Guidance Written by a leading authority on the high-performance Fibre Channel ANSI standard, Fibre Channel author Dr Alan F. Benner, this new guide gives you both an easy-to-understand overview and a practical roadmap for SAN design and deployment. Fibre Channel for SANs: *Shows you how Fibre Channel works, how it integrates with other protocols and systems, and how to implement it to create a SAN for fast access to mass storage *Helps you build expertise in the standard used by ISPs for Web page storage, and by enterprise data centers for managing multi-Terabyte storage requirements *Explains how to create bandwidth-sparing solutions for multimedia—voice, video, animation, music—and real-time video conferencing *Walks you through the ANSI standard’s 5 levels, from the physical transmission level through interfaces to upper layer protocols *Provides clear directions on implementing logins and logouts, link services, error detection and recovery, flow control, and more *Demonstrates mapping SCSI and IP over Fibre Channel *Offers a wealth of timesaving illustrations *Provides practical suggestions for troubleshooting Fibre Channel networks The Best Guide to Applying Fibre Channel— For a Bigger, Better, Faster, More Capable Data Network
