Abstract
A method for constraining access to a storage system includes assigning a permanent bus identification to a storage device included in the storage system, creating a zone including a switch and the storage device included in the storage system such that data only passes to the storage device from the switch, and restricting access to the storage device from a server included in the storage system.
Claims24
A method for constraining access to a storage system comprises:
- assigning a permanent bus identification to a storage device included in the storage system;
- grouping a switch and the storage device included in the storage system such that data only passes to the storage device from the switch;
- and
- restricting access to the storage device from a server included in the storage system.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium comprises instructions for constraining access to a storage system, the instructions cause a computer to:
- assign a permanent bus identification to a storage device included in the storage system;
- group a switch and the storage device included in the storage system such that data only passes to the storage device from the switch;
- and
- restrict access to the storage device from a server included in the storage system.
A process for constraining access to a storage system comprises:
- an assignment process to assign a permanent bus identification to a storage device included in the storage system;
- a grouping process to group a switch and the storage device included in the storage system such that data only passes to the storage device from the switch;
- and
- an access process to restrict access to the storage device from a server included in the storage system.
