Abstract: System and method for construction, fault isolation, and recovery of cabling topology in a storage area network (SAN) is disclosed. In one embodiment, in a method for construction, fault isolation, and recovery of cabling topology in a SAN, subsystem information associated with each subsystem in the SAN is obtained. Then, an IP port and zoning information associated with connections of each subsystem is obtained. Component information associated with each component is also obtained. Any other relevant information associated with each subsystem and each component is obtained from users. The obtained subsystem information, IP port and zoning information, component information, and any other relevant information are compiled. Test packets are then sent from end-to-end in SAN using compiled information. The sent test packets are tracked via each component in each subsystem in the SAN. The cabling topology of the SAN is then outputted based on the outcome of the tracking.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于存储区域网络（SAN）中的布线拓扑的构造，故障隔离和恢复的系统和方法。 在一个实施例中，在SAN中的布线拓扑的构造，故障隔离和恢复的方法中，获得与SAN中的每个子系统相关联的子系统信息。 然后，获得与每个子系统的连接相关联的IP端口和分区信息。 还获得与每个组件相关联的组件信息。 与每个子系统和每个组件相关联的任何其他相关信息都是从用户处获得的。 获得的子系统信息，IP端口和分区信息，组件信息和任何其他相关信息被编译。 然后使用编译的信息在SAN中使用端到端发送测试数据包。 发送的测试包通过SAN中每个子系统中的每个组件进行跟踪。 然后根据跟踪的结果输出SAN的布线拓扑。
