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: Various examples of the present technology provide a method for remotely controlling zone management of a storage system that comprises generating and initializing a network service for a remote device and a new thread for handing commands from the remote device, determining, for each port of a plurality of ports associated with storage devices of a storage system, a corresponding zone group based at least upon zone IDs of the plurality of ports, setting a zoning configuration parameter corresponding to each group of the plurality of zoning groups using a serial protocol (e.g., SAS management protocol (SMP)), and configuring a zone and port mapping table and a zone permission table based at least upon the zoning configuration parameter.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relate to remote management of a storage system. The present technology relates techniques that enable a new function of a SAS expander to provide scalable and efficient SAN management. By enabling a direct and separate interface for each storage system associated with a SAS expander, the present technology can achieve SAN management with improved efficiency.

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.
