Hi, Jim.
Yes, I read that article....very informative; thanks. Would you think a
BoF session on this topic of SAN management be appropriate at SHARE next
week?
Have a good one.

I actually gave a presentation on that very thing a little while back:

I built a "SAN admin" tool set and database to manage it all. It was the
only way to really do it without losing it! There simply are too many data
points (wwpns from one end to the other for each and every lun) and
copy/paste from a spreadsheet is NOT an answer.
I built it on z/VM (Rexx / Pipelines / zVPS web server CGIs) although it
could easily live on a Linux server - but the key is to be able to interact
with the z/VM systems where the servers are.

For sites with a "significant" number of z/Linux guests accessing SAN
storage, how do they keep track of all of the WWPN, LUN, etc. data
needed to manage such a penguin farm?
Thanks and have a good one.
