  • Methods and systems for verifying server-storage device connectivity
    Patent number: 8868676
    Abstract: Methods and systems for verifying server-storage device connectivity in a storage area network (SAN) environment are provided. One system includes determining which of a plurality of storage devices a server is physically connected and determining which of the plurality of storage devices a zoning configuration in the SAN environment enables the server to access. The method further includes returning to a user an indication of each storage device in the plurality of storage devices that the server is both physically connected and includes zoning access. One system includes a server, a plurality of storage devices, a switch fabric coupling the server to the plurality of storage devices, and a processor coupled to the server, the plurality of storage devices, and each device in the switch fabric. In this system, the processor is configured to perform the method discussed above.
