A method for analyzing management risk of a computer network includes selecting a portion of a storage system, determining a first downtime cost associated with a component included in the portion of the storage system, assigning the first downtime cost to the component, and disseminating the assigning of the downtime cost to a user.

Software application domain and storage domain risk analysis process and method

A method for displaying a computer network includes displaying data collected by an application level agent from a software application and data collected from a storage system. The collected data represents a data path between the software application and the storage system.

Software application domain and storage domain interface process and method

A method for constraining access to a storage system includes assigning a permanent bus identification to a storage device included in the storage system, creating a zone including a switch and the storage device included in the storage system such that data only passes to the storage device from the switch, and restricting access to the storage device from a server included in the storage system.

Software application domain and storage domain constraining process and method

A method for characterizing a data path in a computer system includes collecting data from a software application, the data represents a data path between the software application and a storage system, collecting data from the storage system, the data represents the data path between the software application and the storage system, selecting the data path between the software application and the storage system, and determining a characterization measure of the selected data path.
