Abstract
A SAN activity scheduler provides an integrated view of various types of scheduled activities, provides a summary report of multiple scheduled activities, and provides a seamless interface to drill down into specific details of scheduled activities. The scheduler provides a layout view of the scheduled activities arranged according to activity type (tasks, data collection, or retention) or status (success or failure), a detailed layout of activities scheduled within a particular day or other time interval, and a drill down detail which provides activity specific reports such as logs and collection details about the scheduled activities. In this manner, the scheduler provides the SAN operator with an integrated, all-inclusive interface for directing scheduled activities, presents a unified cohesive interface for quickly assessing the current state of scheduled activities, and drilling down into details on an activity specific basis without leaving the integrated scheduler application.
