Title : Parallel NFS (pNFS) SCSI Layout
Author : Christoph Hellwig
Filename : draft-hellwig-nfsv4-scsi-layout-00.txt
Pages : 13

Abstract:
Parallel NFS (pNFS) extends Network File Sharing version 4 (RFC5661)
to allow clients to directly access file data on the storage used by
the NFSv4 server. This ability to bypass the server for data access
can increase both performance and parallelism, but requires
additional client functionality for data access, some of which is
dependent on the class of storage used. The main pNFS operations
document specifies storage-class-independent extensions to NFS, the
pNFS Block/Volume Layout (RFC5663) specifies the additional
extensions for use of pNFS with block-and volume-based storage, while
this document provides extensions to the pNFS Block/Volume Layout
document to provide reliable fencing and better device
discoverability for SCSI based shared storage devices.
