Abstract:
Method and system is provided for managing metadata for a plurality of data containers that are stored at one or more storage volumes in a storage system. The metadata is collected from one or more storage volumes and then provided to a catalog module. The catalog module pre-processes the metadata and then generates a searchable data structure. The searchable data structure may then be used to respond to a user request for information regarding the storage system.
