Abstract: In large complex multi-path storage environments, knowing there is a problem is extremely valuable. Example embodiments of the present invention include a management framework that provides an easy to use and read graphical perspective that allows analysis of faults in a multi-path storage environment. The architecture is not only responsive, scalable, and robust, but also provides “middleware” services to a broad spectrum of enterprise management applications whose domains may extend beyond storage path management.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for minimizing disruptions when host data on a source logical unit is migrated onto a target logical unit. I/O requests are managed in a particular order during various states of the migration. After the target logical unit is synchronized with the source logical unit and before a commitment to the target logical unit is made, the target logical unit can be evaluated. At that point, the migration can be aborted. During the evaluation of the target logical unit, I/O requests that were directed to the source logical unit are redirected to the target logical unit and I/O requests that were directed to the target logical unit are redirected to the source logical unit. The disclosed methods and systems are equally effective at enabling less disruptive virtualization of a source logical unit as a target logical unit.
