    摘要: There is disclosed a system, method, apparatus and computer program product for managing a storage system including a SAN within a computer network. The storage system can be managed in object-oriented computer language. Object trees of each component in the storage system or SAN are obtained and combined on each storage processor in the storage system. The user interface (UI) can therefore select one storage processor within the storage system, and request such combined object tree information for the entire storage system or SAN from only that singular storage processor on which such combined information is stored. This eliminates a severe computational drain on the UI, which otherwise would be required to make these object tree combinations, and further allows a single point of storage management contact between UI and storage system or SAN by way of that singular storage or portal processor. Commands from the UI destined for any node within the storage system or SAN are thus always addressed to that same single point of contact or portal processor allowing for ease of use and other advantages.

    摘要: Described is a technique for gathering information about a property. A request is received at a first node of a plurality of nodes. The request requests information in accordance with the property for a set of one or more objects defined in a portion of the plurality of nodes. The first node determines information about said property for objects of said set which are defined at said first node. Each of the other nodes determines information about said property for objects of said set which are defined at said each node. Information is communicated to the first node from the other nodes about said property for objects of said set which are defined at each of said other nodes. The first node performs processing to produce final information representing information received from said other nodes and information determined by said first node regarding said property.

    摘要: A method is used in managing object deletion. Updated information about a system is repeatedly polled for. An information set is received identifying an object to be deleted from a system management model that is descriptive of the system. An iterative process is applied to determine other objects in the system management model that are unidentified in the information set and that are affected by deletion of the object. The object is deleted.

    摘要: A method for adding file based storage hardware to a block based storage system includes detecting, by the file based storage hardware, an electrical coupling between the file based storage hardware and the block based storage system, the block based storage system having a set of logical units (LUs) predefined as file based storage hardware specific LUs. The method includes forwarding, by the file based storage hardware, an initiator record to the block based storage system, the initiator record configured to control access by the file based storage hardware to data stored by the block based storage system and the initiator record having a file based storage hardware specific identifier. The method includes, following the block based storage system associating the initiator record having the file based storage hardware specific identifier with the predefined file based storage hardware specific LUs, establishing a communication path with the block based storage system.

    摘要: A method is used in updating system status. Updated information is received for a managed object in a data storage system. From the updated information and an existing software object having other information about the managed object, a new software object is derived representing the managed object. Merge logic is applied to update the existing software object based on the new software object. The merge logic being capable of updating an existing full model of the data storage system from a new full model of the data storage system.
