AixBOMS Configuration Management: System Administration for SAN, NAS, and Virtual Storage

Storage objects

System configurations involved in mass storage methods, such as for SAN and NAS, can represent their own special landscape of various system layers. For this purpose, special objects have been created in recent years for mapping, which support both the management of different system layers (like servers, fabric, and storage clusters) and can also map the connectivity logic.



Storage: Rack View


Graphics create clarity

Precisely because of the large number of individual objects per storage landscape, a graphical representation in the form of an infrastructure map or infrastructure overview is indispensable. The customer decides for themselves whether to focus on configuration, capacity and structure, or on connectivity.

Storage and network

The special characteristics of the storage data objects not only allow integration into general configuration management or ITIL-based CMS, but also into the networking discipline for the assignment of IP, MAC, VLAN, WWN addresses, or other addressing methods and logic.
