Abstract
A method for automatically ascertaining the presence of shared data elements stored on multiple storage resources in a network, the method including automatically ascertaining the presence of multiple storage resources on the network by continuously monitoring the network, for each of the multiple storage resources ascertained to be present in the network, automatically ascertaining the presence of shared data elements associated with data elements stored thereon, and for each of the shared data elements ascertained to be stored on the multiple storage resources in the network, automatically ascertaining at least one property of at least one share designator associated with each of the shared data elements.
Claims24
A method for automatically ascertaining the presence of shared data elements stored on multiple storage resources in a network, the method comprising:
- automatically ascertaining the presence of said multiple storage resources on said network by continuously monitoring said network;
- for each of said multiple storage resources ascertained to be present in said network, automatically ascertaining the presence of shared data elements associated with data elements stored thereon;
- and
- for each of said shared data elements ascertained to be stored on said multiple storage resources in said network, automatically ascertaining at least one property of at least one share designator associated with each of said shared data elements.
A method for automatically ascertaining the creation of shared data elements stored on multiple storage resources in a network, the method comprising:
- automatically ascertaining the presence of said multiple storage resources on said network by continuously monitoring said network;
- for each of said multiple storage resources ascertained to be present in said network, automatically ascertaining the creation of shared data elements associated with data elements stored thereon by continuously monitoring said network;
- and
- for each of said shared data elements ascertained to have been created, automatically ascertaining at least one property of at least one share designator associated with each said shared data element.
A system for automatically ascertaining the presence of shared data elements stored on multiple storage resources in a network, the system comprising:
- network monitoring functionality operative for continuously monitoring said network and automatically ascertaining the presence of said multiple storage resources on said network;
- storage resource monitoring functionality operative for continuously monitoring said network and automatically ascertaining the presence of shared data elements associated with data elements stored on each of said multiple storage resources ascertained to be present in said network;
- and
- shared data element monitoring functionality operative for automatically ascertaining at least one property of at least one share designator associated with each of said shared data elements ascertained to be stored on said multiple storage resources in said network.
A system for automatically ascertaining the creation of shared data elements stored on multiple storage resources in a network, the system comprising:
- network monitoring functionality operative for continuously monitoring said network and automatically ascertaining the presence of said multiple storage resources on said network;
- storage resource monitoring functionality operative for continuously monitoring said network and automatically ascertaining the creation of shared data elements associated with data elements stored on each of said multiple storage resources ascertained to be present in said network;
- and
- shared data element monitoring functionality operative for automatically ascertaining at least one property of at least one share designator associated with each of said shared data elements ascertained to have been created.
