ABSTRACT:
A storage area network is managed. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a plurality of nodes; providing a plurality of storage, wherein the plurality of storage is shared by the plurality of nodes; determining if a change in the storage area network has occurred; and dynamically adjusting to the change if the change has occurred. In another embodiment, the system comprises a processor configured to communicate with a second node and at least one storage, wherein the storage is shared by the processor and the second node; the processor also being configured to determine if a change in the storage area network has occurred; and dynamically adjusting to the change if the change has occurred; and a memory coupled with the processor, the memory configured to provide instructions to the processor.
