摘要： Policies are implemented in a managed systems. Virtual heterogeneous entities are organized into a system resource group (SRG) hosted on a virtual volume that is accessed via a virtualization machine. Each of the virtual heterogeneous entities are visible to an application operable on the managed systems environment. The system resource group is subject to at least one membership requirement, defines a relationship between at least two of the virtual heterogeneous entities, contains at least one policy defining an operation as to be performed on the system resource group for a domain of the managed systems environment, and defines at least a portion of a policy framework between the system resource group and an additional system resource group organized from additional virtual heterogeneous entities. The system resource group expands according to an action performed incorporating the relationship, policy, or policy framework.

摘要： A digital data processor of the type used, e.g., in management of a storage area network (SAN), executes a process (a “manager” process) to maintain a representation of the SAN topology or at least an attribute thereof. A graphical output device displays the SAN representation. A further process (a “user interface” process) controls the output device for purposes of displaying that representation. An interface element effects retrieval of the SAN representation, for example, in response to a request from the user interface process. It transmits that representation to the user interface process for display on the graphical output device.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting entity changes in a storage area network. A discovery module probes a plurality of entities of the storage area network to detect an event in response to a policy, stores attributes of the probed entities, and reports the event with a probe event reference. A monitor module receives a self-announced event reference of the event if an entity communicates the event. A configuration module records the event as an initiated event reference if the event is initiated by an administrator. An event manager synthesizes a report of the event from the event references.

摘要： Data collection agents are assigned to storage area network nodes in a storage area network resource management system, such that the bandwidth and cost of data collection are equitably distributed among data collection agents. Data collection overlaps and load imbalances are eliminated across the data collection agents, creating approximately equal partitions of bandwidth and data collection for each data collection agent. Graph partitioning is used to accomplish load balancing. The assignment of data collection agents to storage area network nodes equitably distributes the bandwidth and processing costs among the data collection agents and ensures a load balance.

摘要： A network configuration program assists a user in planning the configuration of devices in an information processing network. Preferably, a planning function is part of a storage management program for managing a network of storage devices. After specifying a set of hardware to be configured, the storage management program presents a graphical display representing available hardware. The user performs sequential configuration steps by selecting represented devices with a pointer, and designating ports or other information as required. For example, where connections between two devices are being specified, the user selects a first device with the pointer, drags a line to a second device, and selects the second device to indicate the connection. Because a typical network must satisfy numerous constraints, which are difficult for the user to keep in mind, the storage management program determines, from among the available devices, which ones can be connected to a selected device without violating any of the network constraints. These connectable devices are then highlighted on the graphical display so that the user can visually interpret the valious configuration options available at that stage. The display is updated at each configuration step, to reflect the cumulative steps completed at that point in the overall configuration task. Updating the display also reflects the available choices for the next configuration step. In this manner, a user without extensive knowledge of system and device constraints is guided through the configuration process.
