The application example of the present invention conducts targeted debugging for the optical fiber storage device. There are many types of storage devices, but all require connection adaptation deployment. According to this situation, the deployment of all storage devices can be widely promoted and applied; at present, most storage devices need to record the WWN of each device to be adapted, and map relevant devices for adaptation; once there are many devices, It will be chaotic, prone to errors, and difficult to troubleshoot after errors. The application embodiments of the present invention can reduce deployment time and reduce the probability of errors. At the same time, for the storage itself, its performance and stability will not be affected, resources can be better utilized, and the total input cost can be reduced; the application example method of the present invention includes:

Connect all network equipment, including: storage equipment, server equipment, fiber optic switch equipment, network switch equipment, etc., through Fiber Communication (FC) protocol, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol, intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) protocol, obtain the relevant WWN, IP, and other equipment information of network equipment, etc., those skilled in the art can determine how to obtain the above-mentioned equipment information according to common knowledge; the application example of the present invention organizes the collected equipment information to determine which ones Server devices, which are storage devices, and which are switch devices, and then integrated and classified to mark the environment and connection status of network devices (network status identifiers), and display them graphically for easy viewing by deployers. The application example of the present invention can be marked with software labels, and the connection information of each port can be obtained through the optical switch, the network switch can also view the information of the connected device, and the management port can view the IP and other information of the device. Completely determine the connection relationship between network devices. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of adaptation according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3 , after the adaptation operation is completed, network devices (storage devices, server devices, and switch devices) are displayed according to preset display rules.

The application example of the present invention can perform graphical storage adaptation configuration by checking the connection status of network devices according to requirements (for example, if it is necessary to divide virtual local area network (VLAN) for the network or divide the FC into a zone (zone), it can be graphically configured operation) to perform cooperative work among various network devices. The application example of the present invention does not change the original network equipment, can effectively utilize the existing network equipment, and at the same time adds less network equipment, can reduce a lot of configuration work and reduce the cost of operation and maintenance.

After the configuration is completed, the application example of the present invention can also perform device inspection to automatically check the compliance of the configuration. For example, the storage space of storage A needs to be allocated to server A, but some links of server A cannot fully reach storage A (generally, the server will be configured with link redundancy, and you can see how many links there are on the server side. The storage side can also see how many links there are. If the two numbers are not equal, it means that some links are unreachable. Then check the conditions of each link, and then give suggestions), the application example of the present invention will be judged as If it does not comply with the regulations, the embodiment of the present invention can also give a warning and give reasonable suggestions; for example, 1. The server end is unreachable from the switch, and it is recommended to insert an optical fiber cable to the optical fiber switch. 2. If there is a fault in the fiber switch port, it is recommended to restart or replace it. The above guide is used for compliance configuration, thereby simplifying the workload and technical requirements of the implementer, achieving rapid adaptation to storage, reducing the probability of errors, and reducing The purpose of the time for troubleshooting. Considering that hardware failures or link failures may occur during the configuration process, the application example of the present invention adds a hardware verification mechanism during inspection, through the verification of storage devices, server devices, switches and other devices; the verification process adopts At present, all hardware devices have their own hardware failure alarm mechanism, which can be obtained through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Step 401, connect a network device;

Step 402: Obtain network topology information of the network device;

Step 403: Perform status identification on the network device according to the device information and network topology information of the network device;

Step 404, displaying the network status identifier graphically;

Step 405, according to the adaptation adjustment requirements, perform connection configuration of the network device;

Step 406: Detect the connection configuration; specifically, it may include: detecting the network connection configuration according to a preset detection rule; and performing hardware verification on the network device.

Step 407 , when the connection configuration detection result is normal, end the current adaptation operation.

In order to simplify the workload of the implementer and speed up the adaptation and deployment of the equipment, the application example of the present invention is optimized for different brands and different types of storage. Different storages have different interfaces and different configuration methods. The application example of the present invention optimizes the configuration interface, and integrates and optimizes different interfaces to realize that even if each type of configuration mode is different, the protocol is different, and the interface is different, after the final acquired information is aggregated together, the same interface can be displayed. Implementers can use a common interface to configure different storage devices for adaptation, which reduces device adaptation time. The connection and adaptation of storage devices can be performed faster, and the configuration time can be further reduced. The application example of the present invention proposes a method for fast connection and adaptation of storage devices, which can realize fast connection of storage devices, servers, network devices, and the like.
