ABSTRACT:
In a networked computer system that includes clusters, each cluster is provided with a resource database and an agent that scans the systems in that cluster and collects storage resource details along with capacity information from the multiple systems that are members of that cluster. During the scanning process, this information is checked for completeness and integrity and stored in the resource database. Depending on the scan context, individual resources may be marked for reporting. The information in the database is then used to report consistent scan results back to the management or scanner software.
