Abstract: Storage system workload data associated with a storage system is analyzed. The workload data comprises indications of input and output operations associated with the storage system. A storage system configuration is determined based, at least in part, on said analyzing of the storage system workload data. An implementation plan comprising one or more operations for implementing the storage system configuration is generated.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a remote storage array, a primary storage array and a network. The remote storage array may be configured to (i) define a queue size based on a performance capability of the remote storage array, (ii) generate a multiplier based on resources being used by the remote storage array, and (iii) adjust the queue size by the multiplier. The primary storage array may be configured to execute input/output (IO) requests between the remote storage array and the primary storage array based on the adjusted queue size. The network may be configured to connect the remote storage array to the primary storage array.

Abstract: A system comprising a performance module and an application. The performance module may be configured to (i) monitor a LUN for a predetermined amount of time, (ii) capture information relating to the LUN, and (iii) store the information. The application may be configured to (i) retrieve the information, (ii) analyze the information, (iii) generate a configuration based on the analysis of the information and (iv) send the configuration to the performance module. The performance module may reconfigure the LUN based on the configuration.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for verifying and correcting storage area network (SAN) configuration information. With the apparatus and method of the present invention, configuration information is collected from components of the SAN using a SAN configuration scanning device. The configuration information collected by the SAN configuration scanning device is then compared to certified configuration parameters by a SAN configuration verification device. The comparison results in variances between the collected configuration information and the certified configuration parameters. It is then determined whether these variances are correctable or not. The variances that are correctable are corrected to reflect the certified configuration parameters by a SAN configuration correction device. Variances that are not correctable are output to an error report generation device that generates an error report for use by a SAN system administrator.
