Abstract
A network recognition system for identifying a storage unit of a plurality of network storage subsystems of a machine (1) including at least one local coupler (11) for exchanging data with the storage subsystems (5, 6, 7) of the network recognition system, each storage subsystem (5, 6, 7) having at least one storage unit identifiable by means of a logical unit number (LUN). An object (100) corresponding to the machine (1) has an object (101) corresponding to the local coupler (11) of the machine (1). Object (101) includes an object (111) corresponding to a remote coupler (51, 52) of one of the storage subsystems (5). Object (101) includes a method (116) for obtaining the object (111) and a list of objects (118, 119) each corresponding to a logical unit number (LUN) identifying a storage unit of the subsystem (5) accessible through the local coupler (11).
