Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing snapshot operation data of one or more snapshot operations associated with at least one storage device and at least one host computer, the computer-implemented method comprising: configuring to a quiescent state, the at least one host computer, the at least one storage device, and a tunneling interface positioned between the at least one host computer and the at least one storage device; based upon the configured quiescent state, performing the one or more snapshot operations to retrieve the snapshot operation data from (i) the tunneling interface positioned between the host computer and the at least one storage device and (ii) zero or more of: the at least one host computer and the at least one storage device; locating the snapshot operation data associated with the one or more performed snapshot operations; assembling configuration information from the snapshot operation data; storing debug data associated with the one or more performed snapshot operations; performing an analysis including the snapshot operation data, the assembled configuration information, and the stored debug data; identifying one or more issues and one or more action plans for resolution based upon the analysis; and providing a report to one or more users including the assembled configuration information, the one or more identified issues, and the one or more identified action plans.
