Abstract:
In accordance with some aspects of the present invention, systems and methods are provided for dynamically and/or automatically selecting and/or modifying data path definitions that are used in performing storage operations on data. Alternate data paths may be specified or selected that use some or all resources that communicate with a particular destination to improve system reliability and performance. The system may also dynamically monitor and choose data path definitions to optimize system performance, conserve storage media and promote balanced load distribution.

Claim (Index 12):
A storage operation system comprising:\n a plurality of storage devices; a plurality of storage policies, wherein a first storage policy comprises at least a first storage operation that transfers data from at least a first computer to a first storage device with a first storage operation path, and wherein a second storage policy comprises a second storage operation that transfers data from the first computer to the first storage device with a second storage operation path that is different than the first storage operation path; and a storage management component executing in one or more computer hardware processors, the storage manager configured to:\n automatically evaluate the first and second storage policies to determine that both the first and second storage policies use both the first and second storage operation paths to conduct data from the first client to the first storage device; \n consolidate the first and second storage policies into one comprehensive storage policy, wherein the comprehensive storage policy associates at least the first and second storage paths to the first computer and the first storage device; and \n automatically add at least a third storage operation path to the comprehensive storage policy based on one or more network operating conditions predicted to occur, wherein the third data path is an alternate data path that is different than the first and second storage operation paths.
