摘要： In a system comprising a first fabric and a plurality of devices coupled to the fabric by Fibre Channel connections, the devices are logically grouped to form configurations and zones. A configuration includes at least one zone, and each zone includes at least one device as a member of the zone. Communications between the devices is restricted according to the configuration currently in effect. For example, one device may be permitted to communicate with another device only if they are members of a common zone.

摘要： A method and system for a management station managing a plurality of routing devices within a fabric. In one embodiment, this management of routing devices comprising the fabric occurs in the Storage Area Network environment. Use is made of a protocol which already exists in a Storage Area Network environment, such as the Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI (“FCP”, for managing routing devices within a fabric. Each routing device comprising the fabric is assigned a logical unit number, which, in one embodiment, is based on the domain identifiers of each routing device. Further, the routing device to which the management station is physically is also labeled as LUN 0, and serves as the logical fabric SCSI Enclosure Services controller unit. The fabric interacts with the management station as though the fabric were a logical fabric SCSI Enclosure Services device coupled to a plurality of logical fabric SCSI Enclosure Services units. The management station is thus able to obtain information about, and manage, any of the routing devices comprising the fabric.

摘要： A system and method that regulates the various operations between computing stations and storage or content. Any operation that involves or may lead to the exchange or accessing of content (data) between storage or hosting content container and computing station may be regulated by means of a policy which comprise a set of rules. Rules may be defined according to specific criteria, including the type of storage, the type of content, the attributes of the content, and other attributes associated with the storage device and/or the content. The policy will be dynamically installed/updated upon a computing station for specific User(s) and will regulate the data operations that may take place between the computing stations and storage or content based on evaluation of the policy. Based on the evaluation of the policy, the requested operation is permitted, restricted in some areas, or denied.

摘要： A system and method that regulates the various operations between computing stations and storage devices. Storage devices are the storage means that are contained upon devices that are able to have data stored upon them. Any operation that involves or may lead to the exchange or accessing of content (data) between a storage device and computing station may be regulated by means of a policy which comprise a set of rules. Rules may be defined according to specific criteria, including the type of storage device, the type of content, the attributes of the content, and other attributes associated with the storage device and/or the content. The policy will be dynamically installed upon a computing station for specific user(s) and will regulate the data operations that may take place between the computing stations and storage devices based on evaluation of the policy. Based on the evaluation of the policy, the requested operation is permitted, restricted in some areas, or denied.
