Management method and system for associated configuration information of storage area network equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a management method and system for associated configuration information of storage area network equipment. Storage area network equipment is divided into three main classes, namely a server, an optical fiber switch and storage equipment, wherein the other configuration items correspondingly belong to three major main classes; the equipment of different manufacturers creates the same configuration information database; all configuration item information and associated information are stored through the same longitudinal configuration information data table, the operation and maintenance platform supports new manufacturers and new equipment types more easily and quickly, the original whole data table structure does not need to be changed, and meanwhile, the problem that empty field spaces of different manufacturers and different indexes are occupied is also avoided; a data record is added to associated information of each configuration item, so that the problem that a complete end-to-end configuration relationship cannot be constructed under the condition that dozens of pieces of associated information are missing is avoided; through a two-step query method, the query range is quickly reduced, and the query efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of storage area network device association configuration information management, and in particular, to a management method and system for storage area network device association configuration information. Background technique [0002] The logical relationship of devices in the storage area network directly reflects the architectural relationship of customers' related services. Different storage device manufacturers, many device components, and complex relationships directly lead to difficulties for customers to locate problems in the business environment. Generally, in the storage area network equipment operation and maintenance platform, each component that is related to each other is usually used as a configuration item, and a separate data table is established to store the configuration information of the configuration item. According to the association in the end-to-end link Accord...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] To this end, the embodiments of the present invention provide a management method and system for associated configuration information of storage area network devices, so as to solve the problem that existing storage area network device management configuration information management methods occupy extra empty fields of different manufacturers configuration items and different indicators. Insufficient space and intermediate configuration item data will easily lead to the disconnection of the configuration relationship link query and the need to traverse all associated data tables, making the query efficiency low
