The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) PacketMaker II (PM2) is a versatile SAS traffic generator capable of initiator and target emulation with an integrated SAS recorder. All SAS protocols are supported including SSP, STP and SMP. In addition, PM2 supports SATA. Users can work at the bit, byte, Dword, packet or command level. The product provides a complete solution for test environments ranging from R&D to production.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PM2 is a 64-bit PCI card that operates in a 32 or 64-bit socket in a Windowsbased PC. Depending on the card model, there is support for one or two SAS phy links. Each link is capable of emulating a host or device. PM2 supports line signalling rates of up to 3.0 Gb/s. Two cards can be connected together via a sync cable to operate together to simulate up to 4 SAS links. These links can also be configured to work together or separately for wide port operation. This function provides test engineers with the ability to have synchronized control over multi-lane traffic and simulate SAS components such as drives or host bus adapters. There are two ways to interact with and control the PM2. The first is to use the GUI application; the second is to use the API (Application Programming Interface). GUI Windows Application The GUI application (see Figure 1) provides an easy to use interface to create and send SAS packet streams. It behaves like a word processor for packets with drag and drop, cut and paste, and insert and delete functions. A series of simple pull-down menus provides all the options for inserting new packets into a new or existing stream for each link. One Packet Stream Editor will be opened for each link (in Link Mode). The Multi-Link Editor (see Figure 2) makes it easy to work with more than one Stream Editor.
