ABSTRACT:
A user interface is described that displays a hierarchical structure of a computer system. The hierarchical structure of a system configuration for a computer system is formed by the upward and downward connections between various levels of symbolic and real hardware components. In particular, the user interface displays a graphical model of the hierarchical tree-like structure of the configuration in a single computer window. An individual hardware component may have multiple upward connections to separate parent hardware components. An individual hardware component may be represented by more than one node within the model, yet a single data structure is maintained for each of the hardware components. In this manner, users may interact with the user interface to more easily view, comprehend, and manage configuration data for a computer system.
