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.
