  • Patent number: 10360085
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying process use on storage array resources is provided. A first process (e.g. an IO driver such as an MPIO driver) on each host collects process information of application processes running on that host. The process/device information is forwarded to the storage array where it is added to a process correlation data structure and correlated with assigned devices of the storage array. The host name that provided the process information is also added to the process correlation data structure. A name of the application is also correlated to the process name in the process correlation data structure. The date the device was last used is periodically updated in the process correlation data structure. The process correlation data structure may then be used to identify devices that have not recently been used and to identify the host, application, and process that uses the devices.
