USER-FRIENDLY STORAGE NETWORK ZONING |
摘要 |
<p>A method for configuring zoning within a switch of a storage network is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes providing a list of devices to a user. The method enables the user to select devices from the list and assign the devices to a zone of a storage network. To determine which ports of a switch the devices are connected to, the method searches a device inventory database containing information about devices in the storage network. The method then determines underlying port-to-port mappings that are needed to enable communication between the devices through the switch. The method then sends a request to the switch to establish, within the switch, the zone with the determined port-to-port mappings. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.</p> |
