Embodiment Construction

[0019] In network management, the management of resources in the Ethernet (that is, various objects managed in the network) is usually carried out through the Ethernet information of the resources. The resources in the Ethernet include switches, servers, storage devices, and Ethernet information includes: IP address, MAC (Media Access Control, Media Access Control) address, device name of the device where it is located, etc., among which the IP address is more commonly used. The network discovery technology of Ethernet management can automatically obtain the Ethernet information of various resources in the managed network.

[0020] The management of SAN network resources is mainly carried out through the FC information of resources. The resources in the SAN network also include switches, servers, and storage devices. The FC information of resources includes: WWN (World Wide Name, global name), manufacturer , model, etc., among which WWN is commonly used.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for realizing unified management of Ethernet and SAN, which comprises the steps of acquiring FC information of a resource in a managed network, wherein the FC information comprises WWN of the resource; acquiring the Ethernet information of the resource in the managed network, wherein the Ethernet information comprises the MAC address of the resource; using the resources in which a certain mapping relationship between the WWN and the MAC address exists; and correlating the FC information and the Ethernet information which belong to a same resource, and managing the correlated FC information and the Ethernet information. The method and the device of the invention improve network management efficiency so that more convenient unified management for the Ethernet and SAN is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method and device for realizing the unified management of Ethernet and SAN (Storage Area Network, storage area network). Background technique [0002] In recent years, FC (Fibre Channel, Fiber Channel), as a connection technology of SAN, has been widely used in data centers. These data centers usually run multiple independent networks: an Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network, local area network) is used for client-to-server and server-to-server communication; an FC SAN is used for communication between servers and storage devices. In order to support various types of networks, the server in the data center needs to configure a separate interface for each network, such as Ethernet network interface card (NIC) and Fiber Channel host bus adapter (Host Bus Adapter, HBA); in addition, the server usually has other Dedicated network interface for management, backup ...
