  • Method and system for strategy driven provisioning of storage in a storage area network
    Patent number: 7370172
    Abstract: A method and system for provisioning storage from a storage area network is provided. The provisioning includes receiving a request for a storage size and storage configuration from a storage area network according to a storage profile, identifying a storage device pool of storage devices according to a storage device candidate strategy, selecting a media unit provisioning strategy based upon the type of storage configuration specified in the storage request, generating media unit solutions using the media unit provisioning strategy and sequence of storage devices in the storage pool, determining if the media unit provisioning strategy produced a solution for the requested storage configuration and provisioning a media unit solution in response to the determination.

  • Failure analysis method and system for storage area networks
    Publication number: 20040153844
    Abstract: A method and system for configuring a storage virtualization controller to manage errors in a storage area network includes identifying predetermined error actions and error events associated with the storage area network, specifying an error pattern based upon a combination of error events and associating an error action to perform in response to receiving the combination of error events of the error pattern. In addition, managing the occurrence of errors generated in a storage area network includes generating error events responsive to the occurrence of the conditions of components being monitored in the storage area network, receiving the error events over a time interval for analysis in a failure analysis module, comparing the temporal arrangement of the error events received against a set of error patterns loaded in the failure analysis module and identifying and performing the error action(s) corresponding to the error pattern(s) that match as a result of the comparison.
