Resource Management
Automated management of existing storage and fabric resources. Automated corrections where necessary.
Addresses the following tasks: Storage Pooling ( Disk and Tape Pooling). Space Management.
Capacity Management.
Policy Management.

Storage Pooling
Enables many physical volumes, the pool, to appear as one logical target. Allows repurposing by shifting ownership from one server to another. Example: DataCore SANSymphony.

Capacity Management
Include volume management, both logical and physical. Logical unit number(LUN)configurations and disk capacities. Viewing common capacity metrics across a variety of storage subsystems. Eg: IBM Storwatch Product.
23 COPYRIGHTED 2004
Space Management
Manage primary storage efficiently Delete unwanted data. Prioritize the usable space. Release unused allocated space. Eg: Tivoli Space Manager.

Policy Management
Policies represent the translation of business goals to rules and actions. When rules and conditions are true, the policy actions are executed. Policy Actions: some activity being performed or cessation of activity. Reduces the complexity to manage SAN-based systems. Eg. IBM Storwatch.

Zoning
What is a Zone? A group of devices in a SAN that can communicate with and access each other. Communication is allowed only between devices of the same zone. Benefits of Zoning Segregate devices based on operating systems. Control access to multiple devices. Enhance network security. Concurrent testing and maintenance
