发明名称 PROVISIONING STORAGE DEVICES IN A DATA CENTER
摘要 In one embodiment, a fabric interconnect device accesses a software inventory of a storage device comprising a plurality of hardware components including at least one storage controller and a plurality of storage mediums. At least one entry of the software inventory identifies a hardware component of the storage device and an indication of at least one version of software installed for use by the hardware component or an indication that no software is installed for use by the hardware component. The fabric interconnect device determines whether one or more versions of software are available for use by the hardware component. The fabric interconnect device initiates installation of at least one version of software for the hardware component of the storage device based on the determination.

主权项 1. A method comprising: accessing, by a fabric interconnect device, a software inventory of a storage device comprising a plurality of hardware components including at least one storage controller and a plurality of storage mediums, the software inventory comprising a plurality of entries, each entry of at least a subset of the plurality of entries identifying a hardware component of the storage device and an indication of at least one version of software installed for use by the hardware component or an indication that no software is installed for use by the hardware component; determining, by the fabric interconnect device, for each hardware component identified in the at least a subset of the plurality of entries, whether one or more versions of software are available for use by the hardware component; and initiating installation, by the fabric interconnect device, of at least one version of software for at least one hardware component of the plurality of the hardware components based on the determination.
