Appeal 2007-1724
Application 10/284,347
BACKGROUND
Appellant’s invention relates to a method and system for reporting
performance data for a network. An understanding of the invention can be
derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which is reproduced below.
1. A method for reporting performance data for a network,
comprising the steps of:
receiving from a user a request for performance data for one
or more devices in the network, wherein the request includes
one or more input parameters specified by the user;
determining whether the input parameters are valid by
comparing the input parameters with a list of acceptable
parameters for the network;
if the input parameters are valid, retrieving the requested
performance data for the one or more devices;
for each device:
creating a data object containing retrieved performance data
for each logical unit (Lun) corresponding to the device;
adding the data object for each Lun to a temporary Lun list,
wherein data objects corresponding to different Luns are
accumulated in the temporary Lun list;
summarizing the data objects accumulated in the temporary
Lun list into a Lun object corresponding to the device, wherein
the Lun object is assigned a Lun value; and
adding the Lun object to a reporting list;
summarizing the retrieved performance data for the one or
more devices, whereby individual summaries are created for
each of the one or more devices;
assigning a value to each individual summary, wherein the
value assigned to each individual summary represents the
retrieved performance data summarized over a user-specified
period;
