  • Software application domain and storage domain risk analysis process and method
    Patent number: 8060436
    Abstract: A method for analyzing management risk of a computer network includes selecting a portion of a storage system, determining a first downtime cost associated with a component included in the portion of the storage system, assigning the first downtime cost to the component, and disseminating the assigning of the downtime cost to a user.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2011
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: David Fu-Tien Chang, Ashutosh Ashutosh
  • Software application domain and storage domain interface process and method
    Patent number: 7249347
    Abstract: A method for displaying a computer network includes displaying data collected by an application level agent from a software application and data collected from a storage system. The collected data represents a data path between the software application and the storage system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 24, 2007
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: David Fu-Tien Chang, Kenneth Albert Freeman
  • Software application domain and storage domain constraining process and method
    Patent number: 7127498
    Abstract: A method for constraining access to a storage system includes assigning a permanent bus identification to a storage device included in the storage system, creating a zone including a switch and the storage device included in the storage system such that data only passes to the storage device from the switch, and restricting access to the storage device from a server included in the storage system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2002
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2006
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: David Fu-Tien Chang, Ashutosh Ashutosh
  • Software application domain and storage domain characterization process and method
    Patent number: 7058545
    Abstract: A method for characterizing a data path in a computer system includes collecting data from a software application, the data represents a data path between the software application and a storage system, collecting data from the storage system, the data represents the data path between the software application and the storage system, selecting the data path between the software application and the storage system, and determining a characterization measure of the selected data path.
    Type: Grant

  • Software application domain and storage domain management process and method
    Publication number: 20040064543
    Abstract: A system monitoring process for monitoring data flow includes an application level agent process that collects configuration data from a software application, the configuration data represents configuration dependencies between the software application and a storage system, and a storage system level agent process that collects configuration data from the storage system, the configuration data represents the configuration dependencies between the software application and the storage system.
