摘要

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed for reconfiguring a storage area network (SAN) to support the execution of an application automatically upon execution of the application. A data set is generated for the application that identifies types of SAN devices that are necessary in order for the SAN to support the execution of the application. An execution of the application is initiated. A SAN manager then utilizes the data set to configure the SAN to support the execution of the application by selecting particular ones of the identified types of SAN devices to use to support the execution. The application is then executed utilizing the selected SAN devices.
