Abstract
In accordance with teachings of the present disclosure, a system and method are described for configuring a storage area network. In one aspect, the system includes a multiple SAN elements that a user may select as well as a design module in which the selected SAN elements may be graphically configured. The system also includes a validation engine which dynamically validates the configuration of the selected SAN elements. More particularly, the system may include a report engine operable to provide a configuration report of the selected SAN configuration. The report engine may produce a SAN topology report, a SAN inventory report, including a listing of existing SAN elements and a SAN cable configuration report.
