Abstract

A system and method are provided to method and system for portset data management. The system comprises a mass storage device to store a list of portset records; a network drivers layer to receive a request to add a new portset record to a list of portset records; and a portset update component to process the request. A portset may include a set of ports that provides access to logical unit numbers (LUNs). When the system receives a request to add a new portset, the portset update component may determine an available common index for the new portset record, associate the new portset record with the available common index, and update in memory representation of the list of records with the new portset record. The new portset record is then stored at a location on disk associated with the available common index for the new portset record.
