    Abstract: A system and method for automatic serial-attached SCSI (SAS) zoning configuration. The SAS based architecture includes a local area network and a SAS system having a local area network port coupled to the local area network. The SAS system includes a plurality of SAS target devices, and an expander having a series of input ports and a plurality of target ports. The target ports are coupled to the SAS target devices. A management tool is coupled to the local area network. The management tool is operable to detect a cable connection between a first host device and an input port of the series of input ports. The management tool automatically configures SAS zones to assign target devices to the first host device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining whether an optical cable matches a port on a switch device. The present disclosure can provide for a switch device which includes a cable identification tool. The cable identification tool can be configured to receive a port configuration table from a management device. The switch device can then obtain features of at least one cable attached to a port of the switch device. The switch device can then compare the obtained features with a table entry in the port configuration table to yield a comparison result. The table entry can correspond to the port to which the at least one cable is attached. Based on the comparison result, the switch device can generate one or more notifications. The notifications can indicate a match status of the at least one cable to the port.

    Abstract: A computing device can be used to set up cabling connections in a network. The computing device can send a first message to a test device through a switch of a server rack. The computing device can receive a response from the test device, and identify a port of the switch currently connected to the test device based on the response. The computing device can use configuration data mapping ports of the switch to servers in the server rack to identify a particular server corresponding to the identified switch port. The computing device can send a second message to the particular server to cause a light of the particular server to be turned on.

    Abstract: A network system for identifying a cable connection is provided. The network system includes a management server, a server device, and a storage device. The management server includes system-management software. The server device is connected to the management server. The server device includes a BMC configured to communicate with the system-management software of the management server. The storage device includes at least one cable port configured to receive a storage cable that connects the storage device to the server device. The cable port includes a non-volatile memory, an indicator light, and a I2C bus.
