SAN performance analysis tool

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method and information handling system (IHS) for improving system performance in a storage area network. An embodiment of the present invention begins by obtaining diagnostic data for the storage area network by asking a user one or more questions and storing results to the one or more questions. Next, test data is obtained by running one or more testing modules on at least one component of the storage area network. A performance analysis of the storage area network is executed, including the obtained diagnostic data and the obtained test data. Then, one or more performance issues and one or more action plans for resolution are identified based upon the analysis. Finally, a report to one or more users is provided including the one or more identified performance issues and the one or more action plans.

1. A computer-implemented method for improving system performance in a storage area network, the method comprising:
obtaining diagnostic data for the storage area network by asking one or more users one or more questions and storing user responses to the one or more questions; obtaining test data by running one or more testing modules on at least one component of the storage area network; executing a performance analysis of the storage area network, including the obtained diagnostic data and the obtained test data; identifying one or more performance issues and one or more action plans for resolution based upon results of the performance analysis; providing a report to the one or more users, the report including the one or more identified performance issues and the one or more action plans; and automatically associating a high, medium, or low risk score indicator with the storage area network based upon the results of the performance analysis.
