ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for configuring a computer system is presented. Underlying system software communicates information to a configuration utility. The information identifies a particular operating system that executes in the computer system. Using this information, the configuration utility formulates configuration filenames and retrieves data from the configuration files describing system resources, system device requirements, and operating system constraints. The configuration utility performs the system configuration by allocating system resources to system devices in accordance with the operating system constraints and system device requirements.
