ABSTRACT:
Mechanisms and techniques are disclosed that maintain managed object data associated with components in a network such as a storage area network by receiving management data associated with components operating in a storage area network and matching the management data to existing objects in a managed object database. For each existing managed object that matches the management data, the system updates object data within the existing managed objects with the matching management data. For management data not matching the existing managed objects in the managed object database, the system creates at least one new managed object containing the non-matching management data. The system further analyzes the management data to infer an existence of additional components operating in the storage area network that do not have corresponding managed objects in the managed object database and creates new managed objects in the managed object database for components within the storage area network whose existence is inferred.
