Abstract

See full text

A user interface system that simplifies management of a storage system, such as a multi-protocol storage appliance, by a user or system administrator. The user interface system comprise a command line interface (CLI) and/or a graphical user interface (GUI) that obviates the need for the system administrator to explicitly configure and specify disks used when creating virtual disks (vdisks) that may be exported as logical unit numbers (luns). Management of the storage appliance is further simplified through the use of a novel command set used to, inter alia, create a vdisk, destroy a vdisk, increase/decrease the size of a vdisk, and manage an initiator group (igroup).
