> Common Array Manager Project > > Purpose > > Provides management software to OpenSolaris for > configuring and monitoring block storage arrays. > > Sponsoring Community Groups > > Storage > > Initial Project Team > > Owen Hall > James Kremer > > Project Description > > Common Array Manager (CAM) is disk storage device > management software that currently ties together > Sun's midrange family of disk storage systems (the > Sun StorageTek Modular Arrays) in an administrator > friendly way. The software includes a web > application, currently runnable from the Sun Java Web > Console, allowing the user to manage their systems > from any browser and a command line client which > provides a facility for automating and scripting > management operations and tasks. More information > about the product and its features can be found on > the product page here -- > http://www.sun.com/storagetek/management_software/reso > urce_management/cam. > > The software has been designed with a plug-in > architecture. Adding support for new devices is > matter of implementing a set of interfaces in the > emerging CAM Device SDK. Utilizing this design it is > envisioned that CAM can be made to manage other disk > systems that are both hardware and software based. > This can potentially include other products in the > Sun StorageTek Modular Array line as well as upcoming > array and disk systems planned by Sun or other > manufacturers of storage systems. > > The main development focus of this project will be to > continue to refine and enhance the core application > framework, application user interfaces and device > SDK. Also, members of the project would be asked to > consider writing and contributing new plug-ins for > CAM . The goal would be to allow CAM to evolve into a > brand neutral disk management application. One idea > for a plug-in we have discussed is an SMI-S > client-based plug-in that would provide the > foundation for allowing CAM to manage any device that > has an SMI-S provider. > > The tentative roadmap for the project is as follows: > > 1. Make Solaris binaries/packages from the latest > release of the software available. > 2. Release the CAM SDK along with sample plug-ins. > 3. Open source the core/base application source code > 4. Open source existing product plug-ins where > feasible > > The current software is released for multiple OS > platforms: Solaris, Linux and Windows. We desire to > keep CAM host platform neutral but do seek to make it > run well and have tight integration with the > OpenSolaris platform. We see CAM as enhancing > OpenSolaris' storage management software stack making > OpenSolaris a good choice as a management host > platform. > > Project Needs > > OpenSolaris Project Page > SCM Management > Discussion List
