A system and method for monitoring and managing devices on a network. The system and method preferably comprises a proxy server connected to the network and a managed device connected to the proxy server. The system further comprises storage means for storing a device management application program associated with the managed device, and a management station in communication with the managed device via the proxy server and in communication with the storage means. The management station preferably is configured to retrieve the device management application program from the storage means and process the device management application program. As the management station processes the device management application program, the management station is able to monitor and manage the managed device. In particular, the management station can send management commands to a controller of the managed device via the proxy server, and the management station can receive notifications from the managed device, also via the proxy server. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to the invention, a system and method for monitoring and managing devices on a network.
The system and method preferably comprises a proxy server connected to the network and a managed device connected to the proxy server.
The system farther comprises storage means for storing a device management application program associated with the managed device, and a management station in communication with the managed device via the proxy server and in communication with the storage means.
The management station preferably is configured to retrieve the device management application program from the storage means and process the device management application program.
As the management station processes the device management application program, the management station is able to monitor and manage the managed device.
In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the managed device preferably is connected to the proxy server by a suitable communication connection.
The communication connection may comprise peripheral component interconnect (PCI), small computer system interface (SCSI), universal serial bus (USB), fiber channel, firewire and the like.
In accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention, the managed device preferably includes a controller for controlling the managed device.
In accordance with this particular aspect of the present invention, when the management station processes the device management application program, the management station is able to send management commands to the controller via the proxy server.
Preferably, the managed device is a storage system.
In accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention, the proxy server preferably includes a device mapper which locates devices connected to the proxy server and assigns a TCP/IP port to each of the devices.
Thus, when the device management application program of the management station sends management commands to the controller of the managed device, the device management application program first sends the management commands to the proxy server, and the device mapper in the proxy server routes the management commands to the managed device
