摘要： A method, system, and computer program product are provided for matching a storage dependent device to a storage subsystem. Storage requirements are identified for a storage dependent device that is coupled to a network. Additionally, a set of storage subsystems that are coupled to the network are identified. A determination is made as to whether at least one storage subsystem in the set of storage subsystems meets the storage requirements of the storage dependent device. An identified storage subsystem is formed by identifying the at least one storage subsystem that meets the storage requirements of the storage dependent device. Responsive to forming the identified storage subsystem, at least one storage subsystem is coupled to the storage dependent device, wherein the storage dependent device utilizes storage capabilities of the identified storage subsystem.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for selectively removing entities from a user interface displaying network entities. A discovery database includes information on at least one network, and, for each network, information on entities in the network and a status of the entities. A user interface display is generated indicating the entities in one network that are available and unavailable. User selection is received of at least one entity in the network that is displayed as unavailable, wherein at least one displayed unavailable entity is not selected. User selection is received to remove the selected at least one entity and the selected at least one entity and any underlying entities within the selected entity are removed in response to the user selection to remove the selected at least one entity.

摘要： The present invention provides for a method and system for the disposition of tasks which failed to run during their originally scheduled time. The determination of whether to run missed or delayed tasks is based on calculated ratios rather than on fixed window sizes. A Lateness Ratio is calculated to determine if the time elapsed between the missed task and the scheduled run time is small enough to still allow a late task to run. A Closeness Ratio is calculated to determine if the next available run time for the missed task is close enough to the next scheduled execution of the task that the missed task will be run in place of the upcoming scheduled task. Each ratio is compared to a user defined ratio limit, so if the calculated ratio does not exceed the limit, then the missed task is executed at the first available opportunity.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种用于处理在原始预定时间内未能运行的任务的方法和系统。是否运行错过或延迟任务的确定是基于计算的比率而不是固定的窗口大小。计算延迟比率，以确定错过的任务和计划的运行时间之间经过的时间是否足够小，以至于仍然允许迟到的任务运行。计算闭合率以确定未完成任务的下一个可用运行时间是否足够接近任务的下一个计划执行，以使运行未完成任务代替即将到来的计划任务。将每个比率与用户定义的比率限制进行比较，因此如果计算的比率不超过限制，则在第一个可用机会执行错过的任务。

摘要： Method, program product, and system for the probabilistic determination of storage device enclosure-to-storage device relationships in a storage system, when the exact relationship is unknown. A table is built at storage system startup representing the initial storage device enclosure to storage device relationship. For efficiency, as topology changes occur within the storage system, the table is not updated to reflect the topology change. When a user wishes to access a specific storage device enclosure, the table is opened, and the most recently added storage device entry for the selected enclosure is chosen. The chosen storage device is queried for its current physical location. If the storage device still resides within the selected enclosure, the user access the enclosure via the chosen storage device. If the chosen storage device does not reside within the disclosure, the storage device entry is moved to the enclosure entry where it now resides, and the next most recently added storage device within the selected enclosure entry is chosen. The storage device select/query process is repeated until a storage device referenced by the chosen storage device entry is determined to reside within the selected enclosure. If the list of storage devices for the selected enclosure entry is exhausted, the table is rebuilt.

The storage area network (SAN) management and configuration apparatus via enabling in-band communications includes a storage area network (SAN) management application for communicating with at least one SAN-connected host system. Each SAN connected host system includes a management application agent for communicating with a host bus adapter (HBA) device driver. The HBA device driver is provided for communicating with a device in the storage area network. The HBA device driver includes at least one pass through service for passing a plurality of commands to the device in the storage area network. The management application agent provides predefined protocol functions for communicating with the device in the storage area network. The predefined protocol functions include a common transport (CT) protocol function and an extended link service (ELS) protocol function.

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： A digital data processing apparatus of the type that manages a SAN includes a first queue with entries representing tasks and a second queue with entries representing data that correspond to those tasks. Data in the second queue is grouped in accord with the task to which they correspond. A manager service updates the internal representation of the SAN (e.g., the representation of the SAN topology) by executing the tasks in the first queue one at a time, for example, atomically using a single-threaded process.

摘要： An improved storage area network has a manager digital data processor that includes a first element that maintains a first representation of the SAN, and a second element that maintains a second representation of the SAN. The first element generates notifications of events in the SAN, e.g., addition or removal of components or relationships between components. The second element responds to such notifications by accessing the first representation (e.g., via the first element) and updating the second representation. In the event of a discrepancy between the event notification and either representation, the second element selectively disregards the event notification or rebuilds (recovers) the second representation by copying one or more attributes of the first representation.
摘要翻译：改进的存储区域网络具有管理器数字数据处理器，其包括维护SAN的第一表示的第一元素和维护SAN的第二表示的第二元素。第一个元素生成SAN中事件的通知，例如添加或删除组件或组件之间的关系。第二元素通过访问第一表示（例如，经由第一元素）并更新第二表示来响应这样的通知。在事件通知和表示之间出现差异的情况下，第二元素有选择地忽略事件通知，或通过复制第一表示的一个或多个属性来重建（恢复）第二表示。
