Abstract:
According to a storage system, method, and apparatus for processing an operation request provided by embodiments of the present invention, a controller directly encapsulates a SCSI protocol operation request into an Ethernet operation request packet at the MAC layer instead of using the TCP/IP protocol layer and a disk enclosure decapsulates the Ethernet operation request to obtain the SCSI protocol operation request and sends the SCSI protocol operation request to a target disk, thereby reducing layers of encapsulation, reducing a processing delay of the storage system, and improving performance of the storage system.

Claim (Index 15):
A back-end adapter of a controller of a storage system, wherein the back-end adapter communicates with a disk enclosure of the storage system using an Ethernet network, with the back-end adapter comprising:\n a first interface configured to receive a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) protocol operation request, wherein the SCSI protocol operation request includes a Serial Attached Small Computer System Interface (SAS) protocol address of a target disk, with multiple disks being connected in the disk enclosure and with each disk in the disk enclosure configured to communicate using the SAS protocol; a second interface configured to send a Ethernet operation request packet to a disk enclosure of the storage system according to a MAC address of the disk enclosure, wherein the disk enclosure and the back-end adapter each have a media access control (MAC) address; and a first central processing unit coupled to the first interface and the second interface, with the first central processing unit configured to:\n obtain the MAC address of the disk enclosure according to the SAS protocol address of the target disk; and \n encapsulate the SCSI protocol operation request into the Ethernet operation request packet, wherein the Ethernet operation request packet includes the MAC address of the back-end adapter and the MAC address of the disk enclosure.
