The subject disclosure is directed towards providing a user with impact-related information regarding the impact of a monitored event (for a detected resource issue) to a managed system, such as a storage system. An event is generated when a resource such as a hard disk has an issue, e.g., has failed. Information from the event is automatically extracted and used to communicate with a management program coupled to the resource. Communication with the management program obtains information as to the impact the resource issue has to the system, e.g., what servers and/or applications are impacted. The impact-related data may be presented in a report to a user.

Monitored system event processing and impact correlation

Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for locating a target IT component in a data center. A first identification marker is scanned by a mobile computing device. A location of the first identification marker in the data center based on a virtual representation of the data center is determined by the mobile computing device. An identity of the target IT component is received. A location of the rack containing the target IT component in the data center based on the virtual representation of the data center is determined by the mobile computing device. A map of the data center, wherein the map of the data center includes first indicia of the location of the first identification marker and second indicia of the location of the rack containing the target IT component, is displayed by the mobile computing device.

Data center management using virtualized data center inventory

Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for authoring a virtual representation of a data center. An identity of a first IT component is determined. First position data indicating a position of the first IT component in the data center is received. The associated identity of the first IT component and the first position data is stored as a first part of the virtual representation of the data center. An identity of the second IT component is determined. Relative position data indicating a position of the second IT component relative to the first position data is received. Second position data indicating a position of the second IT component in the data center is determined. The associated identity of the second IT component and the second position data is stored as a second part of the virtual representation of the data center.

Authoring a virtualized data center

Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for locating one or more markers associated with IT equipment. An image of a scene including the one or more markers is acquired by a mobile computing device. A band-pass filter is applied by the mobile computing device to first pixel data associated with a first pixel in the image to generate a first band-pass filter result, wherein a pass-band of the band-pass filter is based on the light emitted by the one or more markers. A first pixel score is determined by the mobile computing device based on at least the first band-pass filter result. First indicia of the first pixel score is stored by the mobile computing device in a map at a first map location corresponding to a first image location of the first pixel in the image.
