Abstract

See full text

The systems and methods described herein include processes for efficiently detecting relevant state changes in storage network environments and for resolving the name of hosts in storage networks. A subset of states for each component in the storage network is tracked, state information consisting of the values of the selected states with an associated timestamp and a component identifier (ID) for the storage network components is periodically received, a hash function value of the received state using a pre-selected hash function is computed, the most-recent locally-stored hash function value associated with that component ID is retrieved, and in case the hash function value is different from the most-recently locally-stored value, the new hash function value and the timestamp associated with that new value and component ID are stored and this state information is forwarded to a global analyzer service.
