Problems solved by technology

However, the collection strategy for collecting status information of Fiber Channel switches is usually not flexible enough, and the self-adaptive ability is poor. After setting the sampling frequency (collection time interval), it remains unchanged (unadjustable) and the alarm signal sent is single. However, in practical applications The situation is complex and changeable

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation examples.

[0024] In the port status monitoring method of the fiber channel switch of the present embodiment, it is implemented in the storage area network, and the storage area network includes a fiber channel switch and a data collection server, and the data collection server utilizes the SNMP protocol to collect the data of the fiber channel switch in real time status information.

[0025] The port state in this embodiment includes the transmission speed of the optical fiber port, the working state and the WWN number of the connected device. Among them, the working state is the state of light and the state of no light.

[0026] The port status monitoring method of the fiber channel switch of the present embodiment includes:

[0027] (1) Divide a day into several time periods, and set the collection frequency of each port status in each time period.

[0028] The fre...

Abstract

The invention discloses a port state monitoring method for a fiber channel switch. According to the port state monitoring method, all port states of the fiber channel switch are independently monitored, after the port state is collected for each port, the collected port states are compared with previous port states, and different levels of alarms are transmitted according to comparison results. In the process of monitoring all the port states, as the threshold values and collecting frequencies of all the port states are adjusted in real time according to change conditions of the port states, it is guaranteed that all the port states are effectively monitored, and network resources are saved to the maximum degree. The working states of the fiber ports serve as monitoring correspondences, and therefore the existing problem of monitoring blind spots is effectively solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of storage area networks, in particular to a port state monitoring method of a fiber channel switch. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology and the increase of information volume, external storage devices have become larger and larger, and people have higher and higher requirements for data storage and reading speed. Especially in recent years, with the continuous increase of enterprise network data and the frequency of network applications, more and more enterprises have begun to build their own vulgar networks to meet the growing needs of data storage. [0003] Storage Area Network (SAN) is a new technology that combines pure storage application and network technology, and its appearance meets people's requirements for data storage and reading speed. SAN is a dedicated Fiber Channel network connecting storage devices and servers, consisting of Fiber Channel-enabled se...
