    摘要: A method, system, and program product for managing a plurality of storage area networks including a plurality of data storage volumes and one or more hosts, wherein the volumes are in a storage network, wherein the network includes one or more processors in the network, the program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer-executable program code enabling controlling virtualization of volumes in the storage network and managing a SCSI virtualization service; wherein the volume virtualization controller service supports virtualization enabling virtual Storage Area Networks (SAN)s by parsing between front-end SANs and back-end SANs regardless of physical configuration of the front and back-end SANs, to enable mapping from virtual volumes to back-end storage elements across virtual SANs.

    摘要: In one aspect, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a storage request having a storage pool policy, a volume creation policy, and volume creation attributes; searching available storage in a dynamic storage pool and storage connectivity elements based upon the storage request; selecting front-end and back-end virtual local area networks (VLANs), zones, and virtual initiators (VIs) matching a service level agreement (SLA) for the storage request; determining a provisioning plan for the storage request including an array, array ports, the virtual targets (VTs), the VIs, the zones, the VLANs, virtual volume identity, and logical units by examining resources for the VTs and VIs including resource usage and input/output operations per second to select a VT/VI pair based on the SLA; masking and mapping the virtual volume to the array ports to the VIs; creating a back-end zone for connectivity between the virtual targets and host bus adaptor ports; and outputting the provisioning plan to a user for display.
