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 8):
A method for processing an operation request, comprising:\n a controller communicating with a disk enclosure using an Ethernet network, the controller comprising a central processing unit and a back-end adapter, wherein the disk enclosure and the back-end adapter each have a media access control (MAC) address and wherein multiple disks are connected in the disk enclosure, with each disk in the disk enclosure configured to communicate using a Serial Attached Small Computer System Interface (SAS) protocol; the central processing unit sending a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) protocol operation request, wherein the SCSI protocol operation request includes a SAS protocol address of a target disk; the back-end adapter receiving the SCSI protocol operation request sent by the central processing unit; the back-end adapter obtaining the MAC address of the disk enclosure according to a SAS protocol address of the target disk to obtain the MAC address of the disk enclosure; the back-end adapter encapsulating the SCSI protocol operation request into an Ethernet operation request packet carrying the MAC address of the back-end adapter and the MAC address of the disk enclosure; and the back-end adapter sending the Ethernet operation request packet to the disk enclosure according to the MAC address of the disk enclosure.
