ABSTRACT:
A mapping function deduces or attempts to deduce a type associated with the unknown type of storage area network resource based (at least in part) on functional capabilities or physical attributes associated with the unknown type of storage area network resource. If the mapping function is unable to map the unknown type of storage area network resource with a sufficient degree of certainty based on its physical attributes and/or retrieved configuration information, then the mapping function applies an algorithm that compares retrieved configuration information (such as a data string received from and) associated with the unknown type of storage area network resource to respective configuration information (e.g., data strings) associated with the known types of storage area network resources. Longer matching sequences in the compared data strings indicate a higher likelihood that the unknown type of storage area network resource matches a respective known type of storage area network resource.
