System and method for reconciling multi-protocol scan results by a storage virtualization system

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for mapping data, the method comprising:

• scanning a NAS system using a first network file system protocol to generate first scan results;
• scanning the NAS system using a second network file system protocol to generate second scan results;
• matching the first scan results with the second scan results;
• and
• storing matched results.

A method for mapping data comprising:

• providing a storage virtualization system connected to a network addressed storage (NAS) system, the NAS system having a plurality of stored data objects;
• scanning the plurality of data objects using a first network file system protocol to generate first scan results;
• scanning the plurality of data objects using a second network file system protocol to generate second scan results;
• storing the first scan results and the second scan results on the storage virtualization system;
• matching the first scan results with the second scan results;
• and
• storing matched results on the storage virtualization system.
