Storage Area Network (San) Device Logical Relationships Manager

View page
US Patent:
7107328, Sep 12, 2006
Filed:
Dec 21, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/017985
Inventors:
Abhijit Muthiyan - Cary NC, US
Russell Thrasher - Graham NC, US
Assignee:
Veritas Operating Corporation - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709220, 709223
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing one or more logical relationships between a plurality of devices in a storage area network (SAN). The method includes receiving a first identifier associated with a first SAN device, determining the logical relationships associated with the first SAN device, receiving a second identifier associated with a second SAN device, and associating the second identifier to the logical relationships associated with the first SAN device.

Storage Path Optimization For Sans

US Patent:
7275103, Sep 25, 2007
Filed:
Dec 18, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/323395
Inventors:
Russell Thrasher - Raleigh NC, US
Terence W. Noonan - Vadnais Heights MN, US
Assignee:
VERITAS Operating Corporation - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
US Classification:
709224, 709223, 709238, 709239
Abstract:
Embodiments of a system and method for rule-based proactive storage path optimization for SANs. Embodiments may evaluate paths between an application and its storage on a SAN based on current and/or historical path quality of service. Performance of alternative paths may be monitored to determine if a better path than a path currently in use is available. If a better path is determined, then the path may be switched to the better path. In one embodiment, one or more zones may be reconfigured to migrate to a different path. Path migration may be performed automatically without user intervention. Alternatively, a user may be given the option to manually migrate to a new path. Embodiments may proactively change paths between an application and its storage before path performance becomes a problem. Embodiments may be integrated with a SAN management system or, alternatively, may be standalone mechanisms.

System And Method For Storage Area Network Management

US Patent:
7506040, Mar 17, 2009
Filed:
Dec 2, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/307830
Inventors:
Bruce R. Rabe - Dedham MA, US
Russell Thrasher - Raleigh NC, US
Zafrir E. Gan - Framingham MA, US
Joseph Lopilato - Townsend MA, US
Paul A. Scammell - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Symantec Operating Corporation - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
G06F 15/177
US Classification:
709223, 709220, 709224, 709226, 709216, 711 6, 711112, 711170
Abstract:
System and method for providing a common data model for SAN discovery and/or SAN monitoring information collected from heterogeneous SAN components. In one embodiment, a SAN management server may execute on a host computer and may translate data in one or more vendor-specific languages obtained from a heterogeneous vendor population into canonical data in a uniform language. In one embodiment, the SAN management server may execute a set of rules to convert heterogeneous SAN data obtained from heterogeneous interfaces into canonical data conforming to the common data model. In one embodiment, the canonical data may be stored in a persistent store, which may be queried for information that may be provided to the requester in the canonical form of the common data model.

Service-Level Monitoring For Storage Applications

US Patent:
7685269, Mar 23, 2010
Filed:
Dec 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/327462
Inventors:
Russell Thrasher - Raleigh NC, US
Abhijit Muthiyan - Cary NC, US
Mark Sutter - Chapel Hill NC, US
Huseyin Kaya - Oviedo FL, US
Assignee:
Symantec Operating Corporation - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
US Classification:
709224
Abstract:
Embodiments of a system and method for providing service-level monitoring for applications in SANs. Embodiments may identify what applications are running on which hosts in a SAN, automatically identify which paths the applications use through the storage infrastructure to reach their storage, and may monitor SAN components of the paths. One embodiment may provide a task group monitor that monitors groups of SAN components and reports problems detected on group members at the application level. Embodiments may proactively monitor SAN infrastructure including the hardware and/or software components of storage, hosts, fabric, etc. needed for scheduled application tasks such as backup tasks and may alert the operator when problems are detected. Thus, embodiments correlate detected infrastructure problems directly to the applications that are affected, allowing these problems to be addressed at the application level, and prior to scheduled execution of tasks. One embodiment may be implemented in a SAN management system.
