A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AUTONOMIC MANAGEMENT OF A NETWORKED SYSTEM USING AN ACTION-CENTRIC APPROACH

摘要

According to the present invention, the central action (action-centric) autonomous management of the storage system using the approach SAN to provide (Storage Area Network: storage area network) management systems are provided. The SAN management system includes policy specification logic block 26 in order to maintain a policy specification (policy specification) related to the management system. In addition, the SAN management system includes an inference logic block for providing a decision on the action rule (action rule) using a combination of logic (logic) and information obtained from the policy specification. In addition, the SAN management system combines the policy specification logic block 28 and the reasoning logic block 30 includes a learning logic block 30 in order to improve the understanding of the management system. The learning is continuous, the dependence of the manual input from the user provides an autonomous evolution of the system is reduced.
