Abstract:
Differential configuration update commands can be communicated and applied quickly and efficiently to active zone sets and zone set libraries, without requiring propagation of entire zone sets through a fabric of a SAN. Furthermore, the commands can be applied quickly to support dynamic configuration updates. Ordered differential configuration update commands can be applied to ordered zone set data structures to minimize update instruction communication requirements and optimize configuration update operations. In addition, differential configuration update commands can be applied to active zone set data structures (e.g., in an active zone set or a zone set library) to optimize configuration update operations.
