摘要

Systems and methods directed to the automation of Storage Area Network (SAN) configuration when storage volume migration or server virtual machine migration is conducted. Systems and methods described herein may involve the takeover of a SAN network attribute for the migration, and may involve translation of zone object formats to facilitate the migration and ensure compatibility when the takeover is conducted.

1. A storage system, comprising:
an interface configured to receive a command from a computer for reading or writing data via a network; and a controller configured to:
manage read or written data of a logical volume based on the command, and to manage a first relationship among information of an initiator port of the computer, information of the logical volume, and information of an attribute of the network used for transferring the command;create a new zone to the network based on the first relationship;conduct an input/output (I/O) path discovery between the initiator port of the computer and a target port based on the new zone; andupdate the first relationship based on the I/O path discovery.
