Mapping defines how Mayastor volume will be accessed from the SAN clients. Mayastor being truly unified and network agnostic supports same volume to be mapped over iSCSI, Fibre-Channel or NVMeoF network for block storage service. File system volumes can be shared using NFS (ver 3 or 4) , SMB, AFP.
The following mapping types are supported and is specified using controller option of CLI or from the GUI.
controller | Options |
---|---|
iscsi | Any network interface recognized by kernel. More control over specific network by specifying iSCSI portal tag and name. |
fcn | Selects the fibre channel target port as specified by the instance number n |
nvmet-rdma | Any RDMA transport registered with the kernel. Typically they can be Infiniband, iWARP, or ROCE |
nvmet-fc | Uses the NVMeoF transport provider over Fibre-Channel |
nvmet-tcp | This uses standard TCP network interface just like iSCSI |
