ABSTRACT:
A SAN management agent performs hierarchical based partitioning. Partitions expressed as a hierarchy of related manageable entities allow partitioning based on the relations in the hierarchy. Related manageable entities often trigger updates to database elements common to both of the related manageable entities. The related manageable entities often take the form of a hierarchy (tree) indicative of these relations. Grouping the updates affecting related manageable entities together in the same partition allows the database elements affected by the related updates to occur from a single retrieval of the common database element. By partitioning updates of related manageable entities together, the common database elements are more likely to be paged or cached in memory at the time the update processing updates the common database element. Accordingly, tree-based partitioning identifies relations between manageable entities, and designates related manageable entities by traversing the relations.
