Embodiment Construction

[0018] now refer to figure 1 , illustrates a storage system 100 for allowing multiple storage resource devices to be managed by a single storage resource device 104 . In general, storage resource devices 104 may include components for data storage. Generally, system 100 includes a plurality of storage resource devices 104 interconnected to one or more host processors or computers 108 via an in-band network 112 . Generally, host computer 108 includes components for sending and / or receiving data. Additionally, system 100 generally includes one or more administrator computers 116 interconnected with at least one storage resource device 104 via a communication or out-of-band network 120 . Each administrator computer 116 may include or be associated with a web browser application 122 to facilitate communications over the out-of-band network 120 . Typically, administrator computer 116 and associated web browser 122 together include components for administration. One or more hos...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for managing a community of storage resource devices are provided. Management of each storage resource device within a community may be performed through a connection established between an administrator computer and a proxy storage resource device established over an out-of-band network. The proxy storage resource device may collect information related to other members of the community of storage resource devices, and provide such information to the administrator computer. The administrator computer may also obtain information from, and provide commands to, members of the community of storage resource devices through the proxy storage resource device. Information between members of a community of storage resource devices may exchange information using an in-band network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the management of storage resource devices. Background technique [0002] The need to store digital files, documents, pictures, images and other data continues to grow rapidly. With regard to electronic storage of data, systems have been devised that incorporate more than one storage device. Typically, multiple storage devices are used in parallel to store data, increasing the total storage capacity of the system. Furthermore, data may be distributed across multiple storage devices such that if one (or, in some cases, more than one) of the storage devices fails, data is not irremediably lost. An additional advantage obtainable by parallel operation of multiple individual storage devices is improved data access and / or storage time. [0003] Storage resource devices are at least some integrated systems that provide a single storage device, for example JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks), SBOD (Switched Bunch of Disks) or RAID (Redund...
