Abstract
In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a system comprises: a plurality of first nodes having an interface to receive via fibre channel protocol; a plurality of second nodes having an interface to receive via file access protocol; a layout management server which upon receiving from a client a write request containing file data to be written to any of the plurality of first and second nodes, returns to the client, information of location of data for the write request; and a gateway coupled to the plurality of first nodes and second nodes. The gateway converts access from file access protocol to fibre channel protocol so that a client issuing write requests in file access protocol is able to write file data to the plurality of first nodes via the gateway.
