摘要： A registration application that allows a service provider customer that is using data storage resources (storage and/or storage-related services) provided by the service provider to register with a Service Provider Management System (SPMS) that is maintained by the service provider. The registration application executes on each of the customer's servers (that is, those which are connected to resources being used) to produce registration information and provides that registration information to the SPMS. The resources have a scratch pad storage area that is used by the servers and the SPMS to communicate with each other. The registration information is passed to the SPMS by the servers indirectly via the scratch pad area. The SPMS uses the registration information to associate customer information with the resources used by that customer's servers. The association of the customer information and resources can then be used by the SPMS to track customer usage of the resources for billing and other applications.

摘要： A service provider management system (SPMS) that connects to storage resources in a datacenter controlled by a service provider and a database that stores information about the datacenter and customers that receive the storage resources as a service. The SPMS enables the service provider to allocate storage resources to a customer and to assign ownership to billable devices, such as disks, volumes, ports, and so forth, as well as to generate billing information based on hardware configuration and customer usage. The SPSM is supported on a server architecture, which includes a Web server that exports a first interface to the service provider to enable the service provider to manage the data storage resources to which the SPMS is connected, and a second interface to the customer to enable the customer to manage the allocated data storage resources directly.

摘要： A method of managing workflows related to storage services provided by a service provider to a customer (via a management system) is presented. The management system includes a Web server and a workflow process. The Web server presents to a customer a task screen (or set of task screens) for a customer-selected work order request type so that the customer can prepare and submit a work order request to the management system. After receiving the work order request, the Web server uses information contained in and associated with the request to create a database object that includes some or all of the following elements: customer identifier; work order identifier, date/time of request; request state (e.g., new, open or closed); type of request; parameters or arguments to the request; and any textual description provided by the customer. The Web server stores the object in a database. The workflow process locates the new request in the database, performs the task specified by the request and closes the work order request by updating the object with the appropriate state. The workflow process generates a billable event corresponding to the work order request and enters that billable event in an account record of the customer that submitted the request. The account record can then be used to generate billing information. If the workflow process cannot complete the task successfully, an administrator of the service provider may perform the task, close the work order request and enter the billable event in the customer account record.

摘要： A system and method of retrieving management information in a protocol environment having a maximum retrieval byte size is provided. An example of such a protocol environment is SCSI environment. A retrieval command is sent from an initiator to a target where the retrieval command is capable of retrieving more information than the maximum allowed by the protocol. A target buffer is created at the target in response to the retrieval command and the target buffer is filled with management information associated with the target. The management information may be in the form of mode pages when the method is applied in a SCSI environment. The management information is then sent from the target buffer to the initiator. If all of the management information is not retrieved, a second retrieval command is sent by the initiator to retrieve at least a portion of the unsent management information.

摘要： A service window optimized system alert engine is disclosed for automated generation and delivery of alerts relating to detected conditions of a monitored system. The service window optimized system alert engine comprises a state monitor, a system configuration and history module, an alert generator, and an alert router. The state monitor is configured to send status data of the monitored system to the alert generator. The system configuration and history module provides information to the alert generator specifying an alert generation policy established for the monitored system. The alert generator is configured to process the status data from the state monitor in accordance with the alert generation policy specified by the system configuration and history module to generate at least one alert. The alert router is configured to determine optimal delivery characteristics for the generated alert and to deliver the alert in accordance with the optimal delivery characteristics.

摘要： A system and method are provided for retention of data on a storage system. An application program provides the storage system with data to be stored on the storage system. The application program also provides the storage system with a retention period that indicates a period of time for which the data may not be deleted. When the storage system receives a request to delete the data, it first evaluates the retention period associated with that data to determine if the retention period has expired. If the retention period has not expired, the storage system denies the request to delete the data.
