Abstract: A common interface and communication methodology are provided for interaction between the components of a storage area network for them to activate "triggers" that cause actions to be taken by the devices to utilize copy service functions to create additional copies of data, and to potentially route load to other resources. The actions can be taken by any of the elements of the storage area network to mitigate the impact of the pending failure. The advantage of this system over current methods is that it can detect both failure and impending failure in any component in the system and use resources in any other component to mitigate the failure. This creates a much more comprehensive recovery strategy and the potential to save more data than in current systems.

Abstract translation: 提供通用接口和通信方法用于存储区域网络的组件之间的交互，以便它们激活“触发器” 这会导致设备采取行动来利用复制服务功能来创建额外的数据副本，并有可能将负载路由到其他资源。 这些操作可以由存储区域网络的任何元素采取，以减轻未决故障的影响。 该系统与当前方法相比的优点是，它可以检测系统中任何组件的故障和即将发生的故障，并使用其他组件中的资源来缓解故障。 这创造了一个更加全面的恢复策略，并且可以比现有系统节省更多的数据。
