Abstract
An example method comprises receiving a begin time to initiate storage network traffic data collection from a plurality of data probes integrated within an enterprise network, collecting network data identifying HBA ports used to communicate with storage ports from the probes, analyzing the network data to determine attributes of network traffic, determining for each storage unit: a penalty score for each of the storage ports determining a reconfiguration of a storage unit or HBA based at least in part on the total penalty score, simulating changes of the reconfiguration of the storage unit or the HBA and simulate storage network traffic, applying the simulated storage network traffic on the simulated changes of the reconfiguration of the storage unit or HBA to determine improvements, and outputting instructions to enable reconfiguration of the storage unit or HBA.
