ABSTRACT:
A storage service manager facilitates an operator's task for managing large-scale storage facilities. Allocating access paths on the storage network is accomplished by the use agent programs which interface to various components comprising a data path from the client to the storage system. The agent programs hide various vendor-specific and technology-dependent aspects of the storage network components from the user.
