ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides improved techniques for managing storage resources, such as disk drives, I/O ports, and the like distributed among a plurality of sites according to user demand for these storage resources. Specific embodiments provide users the capability to bring new resources on line, define pathways between resources, and the like. Embodiments can obviate the need for system programmers to manually configure storage resources at a user's site.
