Method and system for automating the configuration of a storage area network

摘要

A method and system are provided for the development and maintenance of a single configuration file for a storage area network combined with an "intelligent" script which places server configuration files into the appropriate directories for servers which are part of the storage area network. On a server by server basis, each server is configured in accordance with the particular operating system the server itself is using. Once this is accomplished, each server added or removed from the storage area network will be processed in a similar way without the need for reconfiguration of the storage area network as a whole.
