Abstract

The capacity of a data storage management system may be increased with disclosed methods and systems. One method may increase the capacity of a data storage management system that polls a plurality of monitored elements in a data storage environment. The method includes creating a flag for a poll request and associating a first value for the flag with a first subset of the plurality of monitored elements. The method further includes interpreting a first poll request that includes the first value for the flag as directed to the first subset and interpreting a second poll request that does not include the first value for the flag as not directed to the first subset.
