Abstract: Techniques are provided for bifurcating database information that might otherwise be replicated on each switch in a switched fabric of a Storage Area Network (SAN). The database is divided into a control plane database that comprises mostly switch specific data and a central management database that comprises user device configurations and device profiles. The control plane database includes information such as name server and zone server information, for those devices that may locally log into the switched fabric via a given switch, and those remote devices that are zoned with those local devices and that may log into the switched fabric via another switch. The central management database includes global information for the switched fabric and device profile information (e.g., login interface, Virtual SAN membership, device aliasing, etc.) for devices that have access to the switched fabric and that can also be requested by the various switches in the switched fabric.

Abstract translation: 提供了技术，用于分配可能在存储区域网络（SAN）的交换结构中的每个交换机上复制的数据库信息。 数据库分为主要包括交换机特定数据的控制平面数据库和包含用户设备配置和设备配置文件的中央管理数据库。 控制平面数据库包括诸如名称服务器和区域服务器信息之类的信息，对于可以通过给定交换机本地登录到交换结构的那些设备，以及可以登录到交换结构中的那些远程设备 通过另一个开关。 中央管理数据库包括用于可以访问交换结构并且也可以由各种交换机请求的设备的交换结构和设备配置文件信息（例如，登录界面，虚拟SAN成员资格，设备别名等）的全局信息 在交换结构中。
