Research And Implement Of The SAN System Integrated Management Software SANM

With the rapid development of interneti mass of information need to be transmissed , stored, and processed via network. The bandwidth of network and the capacities of storage are demonded for higher appearance. The traditional storage mode in which the server connect to and manage the storage facilities directly is unable to tansmit and store the massive quatity of date stream. A new network storage mode in which the storage facilities and date are managed centrally should be researched and developed. SAN(Storage Area Network) was emerged as a new solution to the network storage.SAN is composed by hardware system and the software running on the hardware system. In nowadays the management softwares of SAN system play more determinant roles in SAN system's successful development than ever before. Many characteristic technologies of SAN system are embeded in softwares.It is very important to the choice and configuration of softwares from capacity management and date backup without server.Many company provide all kinds of software products and solutions in order to inhance the performance of SAN system , date availability , and management cost.This paper begins with the introdution to the structure and fuctions of SANM with a integrated point and then individually and detailedly discuss several important module of SANM software.In detailedly disscussion , introduce the main control function of SANM firstly .The main control function is carry out by main module of SANM, and some functions the other large modules have not involved are also realized in main module of SANM .SANM software can provide the functions including monitor function, fault infor information function, file transfer function, setting of facilities configuration , and so on. The monitor function is mainly monitor the SAN resource, SAN performance, and fault.SANM is a software composed by multimodules. Each module has its independent fuctions, on the other hand there are complex cooperation ralations between fuctions. There is complex communications inter different processes and modules, so the relations of inter-process and inter-module are one of the emphases in this paper.SAN is the environment of SANM. FC(fibre channal) is the key technology of SAN , but SAN is also connect to traditional network. Therefore SANM involves many network technologies as a software manage and monitor the network facilities. Besides, SANM is a platforms compatible software, so it involves many different between OSs.This paper is complished by me on the bases of SANM research and development, and expatiate systemicly the thoughts and designs in SANM research and development. The success of SANM research and development proves that the thoughts and designs in the paper is available.
