ABSTRACT:
A data storage managing system and method in which a HOST system obtains operation information of a storage device from a system connected to a network without the need for a specific device driver are disclosed. When disks shared between systems connected to the network are managed by a disk manager, monitoring and control information for the shared disks may be accessed by a file access command of the operating system on the HOST system. An operation information storage device is formed in a file format which can be accessed by a file access command of the operating system on the HOST system and the HOST system reads the operation information of the storage devices stored in the operation information file according to the file access command. The information to control the operation of the storage devices is written in the operation information file according to the file access command. The disk manager controls the operation of the storage devices according to the operation information of the operation information file.
