Patent attributes
Embodiments of a system and method for generating SAN management objects corresponding to heterogeneous Storage Access Network (SAN) components from discovered SAN information. In order to manage and monitor SAN components with heterogeneous management interfaces, embodiments may use one or more user-editable rules files for interpreting discovered SAN information, including management interface information, when generating SAN management objects used in managing and monitoring corresponding SAN components. Embodiments may include a mechanism for generating manageable objects for heterogeneous SAN components, including proxy agents and their corresponding proxied SAN components, by applying rules from the rules file(s) to discovered SAN information including proxy agent management interface information.
