iSWAT™ Test Solution is the protocol testing and analyzing
tool of choice for IP storage networking developers using the
iSCSI protocol interface. This application suite is the first
protocol-tester on the market that incorporates all the
professional features and functionality required for iSCSI
protocol testing within a single, feature-rich test
environment. iSWAT provides IP Storage Area Network (SAN)
developers with a mode for testing iSCSI behavior in
heterogeneous, high bandwidth IP SAN or Gigabit Ethernet.

Highlights
|
- iSCSI traffic generation and monitoring
- Initiator and Target testing modules
- Error injection commands and report generation
- Built-in iSCSI failure detection and auto recovery
- SCSI drive target as well as target emulation
- Incorporates many sample scripts
- Both interactive and script-based testing modes
- SCSI and iSCSI command sets implemented
Designed to meet a variety of development-specific needs,
the iSWAT product line offers a number of modular software
units for basic testing requirements, such as initiator
traffic generation, while also providing advanced
features, such as error injection and multi-device
emulation.
IP Storage developers using the iSWAT benefit from a
convenient and cost-effective test solution for iSCSI-based
product debugging, with reduced overhead.
Additionally, iSWAT is a powerful demonstration tool for
vendors looking for a way to demonstrate the functionality
of their products with integrated iSCSI technology,
without the need to actually establish an IP Storage Area
Network (SAN).

iSWAT
Initiator Module
|
iSWAT Initiator implements the iSCSI protocol internally,
using a standard NIC adapter instead of an expensive Host Bus
Adapter (HBA). This allows comprehensive control over the
iSCSI protocol, including error injection and built-in error
detection. iSWAT Initiator allows both interactive and script
based command execution
|
iSWAT Target
Module
|
iSWAT Target implements the iSCSI protocol internally, using
a standard NIC adapter. This allows comprehensive control over
the iSCSI protocol, including error injection and built-in
error detection. Target emulation is optional in a high level
SCSI command module, as well as in a low level SCSI script
module.
Initiator development may be facilitated with iSWAT Target for
high performance as well as for high storage capacity. Using
an internal RAM buffer enables a very high performance test
condition. A high capacity target (up to the available free
space of system drive) may also be emulated. A SCSI Drive
Target option may be added for both high performance and high
storage capacity tests.

SCSI Drive
Target Module
|
Installable on top of the iSWAT Target module, this optional
module enables real SCSI target functionality, practically
replacing the need for a real IP Storage device to be
installed in a test network – at considerable cost savings
and less complexity.
