equipment inventory template
Virtualisation on block level in storage devices is, for example, found within intelligent
disk subsystems equipment inventory template. These storage systems make their storage available to
several servers via various I/O channels by means of LUN masking and RAID. The
physical hard disks are brought together by the storage devices to form virtual disks,
which the servers access using protocols such as SCSI, Fibre Channel FCP, FCoE and
iSCSI. In this manner, the mapping of virtual to physical blocks is achieved.
