System and method for object management

摘要

A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining a first virtual object, wherein the first virtual object includes a first ready state indicator. At least a second virtual object is defined, wherein the at least a second virtual object includes at least a second ready state indicator. The first virtual object and the at least a second virtual object are grouped within a group virtual object.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
defining a first virtual object included within a first storage target within a backend data array, wherein the first virtual object includes a first ready state indicator and a LUN; defining at least a second virtual object included within at least a second storage target within the backend data array, wherein the second virtual object includes at least a second ready state indicator, wherein the first virtual object and the second virtual object are configured as one or more state machines; grouping the first virtual object and the second virtual object within a group virtual object to allow for batch processing and control of the first virtual object and at least the second virtual object, and determining, in response to the grouping, a status for the group virtual object based upon the first ready state indicator, the second ready state indicator and a group ready state indicator, wherein the group ready state indicator is configured to allow a user or application to determine the status for the group virtual object.
