Abstract
This paper describes the architecture of a set of kernel components for developing and testing storage area network transport protocols under Linux. This software is intended for several uses: as a general prototype for network transport protocol development; as a reference implementation of the iSCSI protocol currently under development for standardization by IETF; as a basis for conformance testing for iSCSI; and as a testbed for development of interoperability test suites for iSCSI.

System for managing and controlling storage access requirements

TL;DR: Resource Management and Reservation System (RMRS) as mentioned in this paper is a middleware layer that provides an interface to applications, their database management systems, or some other higher level data management systems like ADRS which does data management on behalf of the applications.

Software-aided storage device emulation in a physical storage device

TL;DR: In this paper, a front end component receives network communications and extracts SCSI commands from the network communication, and an emulation software component establishes a file within the physical storage device in response to the configuration function call.

Performance evaluation of commodity iSCSI-based storage systems

TL;DR: The main goals in this work are to understand the behavior of the application server (iSCSI initiator), to evaluate the overhead introduced by iSCSI compared to systems with directly-attached storage, and to provide insight about how future storage systems may be improved.

Design and implementation of an SAN system based on the fiber channel protocol

TL;DR: This paper introduces some of the key techniques in the network storage system, including an SCSI simulating target, intelligent and uniform storage management architecture, and the processing flow of the read/write commands.

User configurable ultra320 SCSI target device simulator and error injector

TL;DR: The SCSI target device simulator as mentioned in this paper is a simulator consisting of a personal computer, a SCSI host adapter board, and simulator software, which is used to simulate SCSI targets for test purposes.
