Abstract: Examples herein relate to managing data and network bandwidth. In an example implementation, a method includes monitoring a first location having a local volume and a local gateway and monitoring a second location having a first remote volume and a remote gateway. The method also includes determining a bandwidth requirement for a second remote volume at the second location and configuring the local gateway and the remote gateway for the bandwidth requirement. The method also includes adjusting the local gateway and the remote gateway when the bandwidth requirement changes.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to hard zoning capabilities for devices using Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) protocol. For example, a method includes creating a virtual local area network (VLAN) at an Ethernet switch between an initiator and target adapter. The method includes assigning an access control list (ACL) to the VLAN, The method includes segregating a device of a plurality of devices connected to the SAN into a zone group. The method also includes controlling access of a zone group based on the ACL and frame filtering.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to end-to-end quality of service in storage area networks. For example, a method includes receiving input at a target from a user, the input to assign a priority level to a logical unit. This may include registering the logical unit priority level at a switch using an in-band communication in response to the priority level being assigned to the logical unit. This can also include instructing a host to implement the priority level using the in-band communication in response to the priority level being assigned to the logical unit. Further, the methods and systems may enforce the priority level with the host, the switch, and the target.

Abstract: Examples relate to enabling auto-configuration and management of storage resources. In some examples, an Internet group management protocol (IGMP) announcement is received from an end device of a number of end devices in a software defined network (SDN) environment. A storage network fabric map is updated to include the end device based on the IGMP/multicast announcement, where the storage network fabric map describes a network topology of the end devices in the SDN environment. At this stage, a device port of the end device is added to a virtual local area network (ULAN). In response to determining that the end device matches a policy template, parameters of the template policy are applied to the device port.
