ABSTRACT:
A rule engine applies storage area network configuration validation rules to verify whether a proposed storage area network configuration includes compatible resources for use in a storage area network environment. The storage area network configuration validation rules enable a proposed combination of storage area network resources to be validated against compatibility data in a repository even when one or more of the resources in the proposed combination ambiguously maps to multiple possible resources and each of other resources in the proposed combination specifically maps to a single respective known component type. Accordingly, an advisory system herein can provide notification whether a proposed or existing storage area network configuration is qualified for use even though one or more of the resources in the combination is ambiguously mapped to multiple possible storage area network resource types.
