ABSTRACT:
A computer system for an open systems interconnection (OSI) management system capable of handling non-open systems as managed objects of the OSI management system. The system comprises an open system agent which intervenes between an open system manager and the non-open systems. The open system agent has a non-open system-communication unit for communicating with the non-open systems, a manager-communication unit for communicating with the open system manager, an information converting unit for converting the non-open system information format using information provided by the non-open system-communication unit and for converting the OSI management information format using information provided by the manager-communication unit. Finally, the open system agent has a managing unit for performing processing so as to make the non-open systems appear as if they were operating as systems managed in accordance with OSI management protocols by using the information converting unit, the non-open system-communication unit and the manager communication unit.
