Abstract
A method for data verification in a data storage environment comprising the steps of (A) sending a command from an initiator to a target, where the command defines an expected data pattern, (B) sending a block write command from the initiator to the target, where the write command initiates sending data from the initiator to the target, (C) comparing data received to the expected data pattern and (D) generating a status indication in response to the comparison.
Claims20
A method for data verification in a data storage environment comprising the steps of:
- (A) sending a command from an initiator to a target, wherein said command defines an expected data pattern;
- (B) sending a block write command from said initiator to said target, wherein said write command initiates sending data from said initiator to said target;
- (C) comparing data received to said expected data pattern;
- and
- (D) generating a status indication in response to said comparison.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- means for sending a command from an initiator to a target, wherein said command defines an expected data pattern;
- means for sending a block write command from said initiator to said target, wherein said write command initiates sending data from said initiator to said target;
- means for comparing data received to said expected data pattern;
- and
- means for generating a status indication in response to said comparison.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- an initiator circuit configured to send (i) a data pattern command configured to define an expected data pattern and (ii) a sent data pattern in response to a block write command;
- and
- a target circuit configured to (i) receive said sent data pattern, (ii) compare said data received pattern to said expected data pattern, and (iii) generate a status indication in response to said comparison.
