Abstract: A system is configured to monitor traffic being transmitted among a group of nodes; detect a configuration statement being transported from a first node to a second node, where the configuration statement identifies a first configuration to be implemented on the second node; create a record, associated with the configuration statement, that identifies a manner in which a second configuration, that existed on the second node before receiving the configuration statement, is to be changed to the first configuration, where the record includes terms obtained from the configuration statement; generate tags, associated with the record, based on the terms or a first identifier associated with the second node; and associate the tags with the record, where associating the tags with the record allows a search to be performed, using a search query based on the tags, to obtain a configuration history that includes the record or another record.

Abstract: A system and method integrates namespace management and storage management in a storage system environment. According to the invention, an integrated management framework provides an underlying infrastructure that supports various heterogenous storage access protocols within a single, logical namespace service. The logical namespace service is based on extensions to underlying storage management processes that cooperate to create the integrated management framework. Notably, these extensions are embodied as novel library functionality.

Abstract: A system receives discovery rule inputs that include addresses, verifies one or more device identifiers for one or more addresses, obtains device information from each verified device associated with the one or more verified device identifiers, determines whether each verified device is a discovered device based on the device information, and automatically adds each verified device as a discovered device to a management system without human intervention when it is determined that the verified device is discovered. The system further creates device configuration information, creates an identifier and password, provides device configuration information, the identifier, and the password, to each of the discovered devices based on the NETCONF or the Device Management Interface standards, waits for a connection from the discovered devices, imports device configuration information from the discovered devices when the connection has been established, and indicates that the discovered devices are managed devices.

A remote agent of an integrated management framework is installed on a host machine of the storage system environment and includes a pre-installed migration plug-in module that configures the agent as a migration engine adapted to provide a data migration capability. That is, the migration plug-in has the intelligence to configure the remote agent as a migration engine adapted to perform data migration from a source location to a destination location in the storage system environment.

Abstract: Techniques are described for discovering switch-to-switch links in a computer network. In general, the techniques recognize that a link exists between a first switch and a second switch when a MAC address is reachable by a first port of the first switch and by a first port of the second switch, two MAC addresses are reachable by a second port of the first switch, one of the two MAC addresses reachable by the second port of the first switch is also reachable by a second port of the second switch, and the other of the two MAC addresses is also reachable by a third port of the second switch. These techniques search for this occurrence by iteratively searching ports of two switches. That is, the techniques iterate over the ports, rather than MAC addresses thereof. In this manner, the techniques efficiently discover switch-to-switch links in a computer network.

Abstract: A system and method administers security in a logical namespace of a storage system environment. A remote agent performs an integral security-related role within a management framework that is directed to off-loading administration of privileges from a namespace and storage management (NSM) server for namespace and storage management. NSM server rights are defined and assigned to a user of the NSM server in accordance with a security administration feature of the management framework. In addition, a multi-stage authentication procedure is provided to ensure that a user has the appropriate rights to perform operations on the NSM server.

Abstract: A system and method for data protection in a logical namespace of a storage system environment is provided. An integrated management framework implements a data protection technique that monitors failures in the logical namespace at a managed data object granularity, e.g., a share. In the event of a failure to the data object, e.g., a primary share, the data protection technique enables automatic failover for a link point to the object (primary share) that is protected by a backup copy of the data object, e.g., a secondary share. That is, the data protection technique enables failover from the primary share to a secondary share and corresponding linking of the secondary share to the link point in the logical namespace.
