ABSTRACT:
A data storage system comprises an InfiniBand port, a fibre channel port, and a controller. The InfiniBand port is operable to connect the data storage system to a computer, and the fibre channel port is operable to connect the data storage system to one or more fibre channel storage devices. The controller is operable to receive an InfiniBand boot request from a computer system via the InfiniBand Port, and to connect the computer system to the one or more fibre channel storage devices via the fiber channel port such that the controller is operable to map an InfiniBand boot request from the computer system to a fibre channel target.
