Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a computer-implemented method of managing data paths between a computer application and a storage device. The I/O (input/output) load data of a computer application is obtained. If the I/O load data of the computer application is above a pre-determined threshold, data paths are provisioned between the computer application and the storage device based on a pre-defined policy applicable to the computer application.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A computer-implemented method of managing data paths between a computer application and a storage device, comprising: obtaining I/O (input/output) load data of the computer application; and if the I/O load data of the computer application is above a pre-determined threshold, allocating an additional data path between the computer application and the storage device, wherein the allocating comprises: identifying host bus adaptor (HBA) ports of a host computer hostin…
