System, apparatus, and method for configuring an array controller |
摘要 |
One embodiment of the present invention provides a procedure to configure the operation of the a device controller. In particular, the procedure operates in a system that includes a controller that is connected across a first input/output (I/O) interface to at least one other controlled device. An auxiliary computer is connected to the controller by a second I/O interface. The auxiliary computer has a processor therein for executing a set of computer program instructions stored in a first memory. The computer program instructions cause the auxiliary computer to first identify a set of resources in the system. Next, the auxiliary computer determines a set of compatible configuration options that are compatible with the identified resources. Next, the auxiliary computer generates an executable procedure from a number of software procedures that are stored in the memory of the auxiliary computer to implement the compatible configuration options. Finally, the auxiliary computer communicates the executable procedure into a second memory of the controller as controller configuration code.
