US 11,307,899 B2 · System and method for validating virtual storage appliance deployment

Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for generating a virtual storage appliance configuration file. A storage system may be queried for physical configuration information associated with deploying a virtual storage appliance based upon, at least in part, the virtual storage appliance configuration file. One or more virtual storage appliance deployment vulnerabilities associated with the storage system may be identified based upon, at least in part, the virtual storage appliance configuration file and the physical configuration information. A notification including the identified one or more virtual storage appliance deployment vulnerabilities may be generated.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating, via a computing device, a virtual storage appliance configuration file in response to receiving one or more configuration parameters from a user via a user interface associated with a virtual storage appliance;
querying a storage system for physical configuration information associated with deploying the virtual storage appliance based upon, at least in part, the virtual storage appliance configuration file;
identifying one or more virtual storage appliance deployment vulnerabilities associated with the storage system based upon, at least in part, the virtual storage appliance configuration file and the physical configuration information;
generating a notification including the identified one or more virtual storage appliance deployment vulnerabilities;
and
preventing deployment of the virtual storage appliance in response to identifying the one or more virtual storage appliance deployment vulnerabilities.
