Abstract:
According to various embodiments, systems and methods are provided that relate to shared access to Storage Area Networks (SAN) devices. In one embodiment, a Storage Area Network (SAN) host is provided, comprising: a server component: a first host bus adapter configured to be connected to a SAN client over a first SAN; a second host bus adapter configured to be connected to a SAN storage device over a second SAN; and wherein the server component is configured to manage a data block on the SAN storage device, receive a storage operation request from the SAN client through the first host bus adapter, and in response to the storage operation request, perform a storage operation on the data block, the storage operation being performed over the second SAN through the second host bus adapter.

Claim (Index 1):
A Storage Area Network (SAN) host, comprising:\n a first host bus adapter in communication with a SAN client over a first SAN wherein a first plurality of SAN storage devices are connected to the first SAN; a second host bus adapter in communication with a second SAN wherein a second plurality of SAN storage devices are connected to the second SAN, and the second plurality of SAN storage devices are not connected to the first SAN; and a SAN host server component in communication with the first and second host bus adapters, the SAN host server component configured to:\n receive a discovery request for an amount of available storage on the first SAN; \n provide a response to the discovery request that provides an amount of storage available on both the first SAN and the second SAN; \n receive a first SAN storage operation request to perform a first SAN storage operation on one or more first data blocks on the first SAN, the first storage operation sent from the SAN client to the first host bus adapter; and \n in response to the first SAN storage operation request, the SAN host server component automatically performs the first SAN storage operation request on one or more second data blocks stored on the second SAN, instead of on the one or more first data blocks on the first SAN through the second host bus adapter.
