[ I was asked to Cc: linux-scsi, so here it is ] [Topic] Generic SAN Management via Oracle VM Storage Connect Plugin. [Abstract] Managing storage in the SAN often requires using a different tool for each vendor in the environment. Oracle has defined a plugin interface for SAN management, the (sorry about the mouthful) Oracle VM Storage Connect Plugin. The important part is that many of our storage partners have agreed to not only help, but actively author plugins for their storage hardware. While initiated for the Oracle VM product, I've written a standalone application that uses the plugin, giving a unified view of storage that can be managed from one place. The program will be open source, of course. I'm looking for input from storage folks at LFS on what I can do to make this even more useful to general SAN management. -- "What no boss of a programmer can ever understand is that a programmer is working when he's staring out of the window" - With apologies to Burton Rascoe Joel Becker Principal Software Developer Oracle E-mail: joel.becker@xxxxxxxxxx Phone: (650) 506-8127 -- "People with narrow minds usually have broad tongues."
