Emulation
SANBlaze target and initiator emulation systems provide a flexible and powerful feature set:
Flexible User Interface
Powerful web-based GUI allows you to quickly create, save and restore configurations. Efficiently build a large number of formatted drives, create a predictable bad drive or generate custom commands to simulate initiator test cases. All functionality found in the GUI is also available from a CLI interface and can be automated using scripting.
Configurability
Each port on the system can be configured in target or initiator mode. Specific characteristics can be set to customize your disk drive, tape drive, array or PC test environment. Place a device under test (DUT) between an initiator port and a target port. Generate traffic and inject errors on either side of the DUT.
Vendor Specific Devices
With our profiling functionality you can configure an emulated device to look and behave like a specific vendor disk drive, tape drive or array. Numerous parameters can be changed, such as, vendor ID and world wide node name. Define mode, diagnostic and custom inquiry pages to create vendor specific test environments. Generate and import disk, tape or array profiles directly from any connected device to enable real device simulation.
Performance
SANBlaze systems can act as a wire speed device. BlazterMode™ allows read/write tests to run at full line rates across all ports. Run tests that eliminate the latency associated with real drives or add latency in millisecond increments in a predictable manner. Track round trip performance statistics between initiator and target.
