ABSTRACT:
A processor retrieves configuration information (e.g., interoperability rules) indicating acceptable configurations of different types of resources in a storage area network. Based on the retrieved configuration information, the processor generates a set of records. Each record in the set of records includes corresponding identifiers (e.g., numerical integer values) indicating different types of compatible resources associated with a corresponding acceptable storage area network configuration. Each identifier in a respective record maps to a particular manufacturer, model, type, version, etc. of a respective storage area network resource. Consequently, a respective record identifies a group of compatible storage area network resources. For purposes of enabling quick generation of a decision whether a respective configuration is acceptable for use in a storage area network, the processor stores the records in memory and maintains the records in an order depending on respective values of the identifiers stored in the set of records.
