Abstract
A volume container system automatically relates components of a storage area network in membership association of a volume container. The volume container is an abstract entity that maps a relationship between servers and storage devices. The entity captures network access control between servers and storage subsystems such as, for example, security, access, and zoning. Policies of the volume container guide operations in a volume container. The membership associates access and security within the volume container. The volume container reduces administration required for a storage area network, improves consistency in mapping, security, and zoning, and reduces complexity in consistently replicating a logical group of volumes, making failure recovery easier.
