Abstract: Storage array health scores based on alerts are auto-corrected by using alert validation and alert matching to identify missed, stale, and redundant alerts. In response to restoration of an event daemon or reboot of a storage management server, each alert associated with each storage array is validated to determine whether current state of storage array hardware or a logical object differs from the state indicated in the alert. Alerts that differ from current state are updated or invalidated and the health score is recalculated. Responsive to receipt of a new alert, existing alerts associated with the same storage array hardware or logical object are identified and Jaro-Winkler distance between the identified alerts and the new alert is calculated. Any existing alert for which the Jaro-Winkler distance relative to the new alert is greater than or equal to 0.9 is deleted and the health score is recalculated.

Abstract: Job report objects (Java objects) are created by task executors in connection with implementation of a job on a storage system. The Java objects are passed to a job report service that converts the Java objects into XML objects using an XML encoder/decoder. The XML objects are persisted by the job report service as text in a database. If a job report is requested, the job report service retrieves a job record for the corresponding report from the database, creates Java objects, and passes the Java objects to a storage system management client. The client creates an internal model of the report containing a corresponding set of strongly typed TypeScript objects. The TypeScript objects are passed to a pdf data exporter that converts the internal TypeScript objects into untyped JavaScript objects. The untyped JavaScript objects are input to a .pdf generator which generates the requested report as a .pdf document.

Abstract: One or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to a storage health status. In embodiments, one or more events corresponding to a storage array can be received. Each event can include an alert. A type of each event can also be identified. For each event having a qualifying type, at least one prior event made obsolete by each received event can be cleared.

Abstract: In a storage system with multiple storage arrays configured to replicate a storage object, storage management applications are configured to exchange communications via private data replication links by encoding the communications as XML files and writing the files to their local storage array under a shared operating system. Other storage management applications poll their local storage arrays, discover the files, and then decode and read the communications. The communications may include messages, requests, and responses. Topics of interest may be specified in messages. Specific storage arrays may be designated as targets of requests. Responses are sent by encoding the responses as XML files and writing the files to respective local storage arrays under a shared operating system.
