Abstract

A chassis is selected from one or more chassis. Each chassis has one or more computing devices installed therein. A computing device is selected from the computing devices installed in the selected chassis. Each computing device is connected to one or more switches within the chassis. A switch is selected from the switches to which the selected computing device is connected. Each switch is connected to a storage-area network (SAN) encompassing one or more SAN storage devices. A SAN storage device is selected from the SAN storage devices connected to the selected switch. Network settings for the selected SAN storage device and / or the selected computing device are configured. The selected SAN storage device is configured for use by the selected computing device. An operating system (OS) instance is selected and deployed onto the selected SAN storage device for use by the selected computing device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to storage area network (SAN) storage devices, and more particularly to configuring such SAN storage devices so that they can be used with computing devices such as blade computing devices. Background technique [0002] In large organizations, the management of computing devices is an important task. To make such management more convenient for information technology (IT) personnel, and therefore less costly, a relatively new paradigm is the "blade" computing device. A given rack has multiple blade computing devices plugged into it. Each blade computing device may then be assigned to a single end user remote from the blade computing device, or multiple users may have their own virtualized computing device shared among the same one or more blade computing devices. [0003] However, due to their limited size, blade computing devices typically have no or very limited number or size of internal storage devices such ...
