Abstract
Methods and systems for a managed resource simulator for storage area networks are disclosed. To simulate a managed resource, a first template of generic communication information is executed. The execution of the first template establishes communications between an agent and a server of a storage area network, wherein the agent is a type of agent that manages the managed resource to be simulated. A second template is then populated with data specific to the managed resource to be simulated. The second template further includes generic communication information used to establish communications between an agent and a store process. This generic communication information corresponds to the managed resource to be simulated. The managed resource is then simulated by executing the second template. This allows the simulated managed resource to be tested, and any causes of failed transactions may be corrected, without having access to the actual physical managed resource.
