    摘要: A data management and archive method and apparatus, such as for implementation in an automated system to monitor and manage status, performance and configuration data for a plurality of networked storage components. Analysis and cross-correlation of data related to the plurality of storage components can be done individually, collectively and/or comparatively. A collection manager component of a workload analyzer is implemented to start and stop data collection in the context of a system comprising at least one storage component (or at least two networked storage components). The collection manager includes a command and control module that coordinates requests of data from at least one collection agent configured on at least one host connected to the storage component(s). The collection manager manages collection of data and effects file transfer of collected data according to a user specified policy, and maintains status of the data collected. The user specified policy allows the user to specify data collection “shifts” (i.e. periodicity).

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for selecting a path for an I/O in a storage area network. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving path configuration information for paths associated with a host device connected to the storage area network, a listing of components within the storage area network, and a notification of a component failure within the storage area network. The method may also comprise correlating the received path configuration information, the received listing of components, and the received notification of component failure to determine one determine one or more paths associated with the host device affected by the component failure. The method may further comprise transmitting to the host device an alert for the one or more affected paths.

    摘要: Described are techniques for managing a wait queue in a system. A plurality of buckets associated with the wait queue are defined. Each of the plurality of buckets is associated with one of more queue depth values and one or more counters. For each received request for service, a current depth of the wait queue indicating a number of other requests included in the wait queue waiting to be serviced is determined, a bucket in accordance with the current depth of the wait queue is selected and information is recorded by updating said one or more counters of the bucket selected. The received request is placed in the wait queue if there is another request currently being serviced or if there is at least one other request currently in the wait queue.

    摘要: This invention is a system and method for configuring data storage in accordance with workload requirements. The method of this invention allows management and planning for data storage system requirements based on user or administrator defined requirements. It also allows such a user or administrator to iteratively adjust and balance tolerances for performance thresholds or capacity parameters against each other. The invention provides an easy to use user interface that simplifies the configuration and planning task and eases restrictions on the amount of experience and knowledge that a user of the tool needs to achieve a satisfactory data storage solution.

    摘要: This invention is a system and method for replaying workload data that may be accessed in a data storage environment and then replayed for testing or other reasons. The invention has the capability to extract a trace of all I/Os to a data storage system for an extended period of time and then replay these I/Os back to that or another system. Variables may also be manipulated though the play back system to increase testing flexibility at a lower cost than actually introducing new physical variables.
