An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to receive, from a given multi-path input-output driver of a given one of a plurality of host devices that utilizes a given piece of software for controlling delivery of input-output operations to a storage system over selected ones of a plurality of paths through a network, an access authorization check request for the given piece of software in response to expiration of a designated access authorization refresh interval, wherein authorization to access software code of the given piece of software is provided by an access authorization server external to the plurality of host devices. The processing device is also configured to determine an access authorization status of the given multi-path input-output driver. The processing device is further configured to provide, to the given multi-path input-output driver, an access authorization check response comprising the access authorization status of the given multi-path input-output driver.

Multi-path layer configured to provide access authorization for software code of multi-path input-output drivers

A host device comprises a processor coupled to a memory. Upon installation or update of a software program configured to execute on the host device and wherein a management operation is to be performed for the software program in conjunction with a management server, the host device is configured to send a query to a given system with which the host device interacts with respect to one or more operations different than the management operation. The host device is further configured to obtain from the given system, in response to the query, a reply with management server information previously stored on the given system, and then utilize the management server information obtained from the given system to communicate with the management server to perform the management operation.

Automated management server discovery

An apparatus includes a first host device comprising a first multi-path input-output (MPIO) driver configured to discover additional MPIO drivers of additional host devices of an enterprise system that utilize a given piece of software for controlling delivery of input-output operations to a storage system over selected ones of a plurality of paths through a network, the given software being licensed by a license server external to the enterprise system. The first MPIO driver is also configured to obtain a pool of licenses for the given software from the license server and to receive from a given one of the additional MPIO drivers a request for a license to utilize the given software. The first MPIO driver is further configured to check out one of the pool of licenses and enable use of the given software by the given additional MPIO based at least in part on the checked-out license.

Proxy license server for host-based software licensing

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for regression testing using automation technologies are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes generating application programming interfaces related to regression testing; obtaining user input, via at least one user interface, pertaining to at least one regression testing test case; selecting at least one of the application programming interfaces based at least in part on the user input; generating at least one regression testing automation tool using the at least one selected application programming interface and at least a portion of one or more software testing automation technologies; and performing one or more automated actions utilizing the at least one generated regression testing automation tool.
