Abstract
Disclosed is a process that is performed by a management application for automatically mapping the topology of one domain to another domain. In addition, if a device in a domain fails, the domain application can automatically associate replacement devices with predecessor management objects.
Claims5
A method of porting domain configuration data from a first domain to a second domain comprising:
- creating a first domain topology map for said first domain having a first domain topology;
- creating a second domain topology map for a second domain having a second domain topology;
- comparing said first domain topology with said second domain topology;
- matching objects in said first domain topology map with corresponding objects in said second domain topology map whenever said first domain topology matches said second domain topology;
- mapping said configuration data from said objects in said first domain to objects in said second domain based on relationships formed on the basis of relative positions of said objects in said first domain topology map with said corresponding objects in said second domain topology map.

A method of automatically associating a replacement object in a managed SAS domain comprising:
- generating domain management configuration information for a domain;
- generating a domain topology map from said domain management configuration information;
- identifying an object in said domain topology map for replacement;
- using data from said domain topology map to associate said replacement object in said domain.

A method of porting domain configuration data from a first domain to a second domain comprising:
- creating a first domain topology map for said first domain having a first domain topology;
- creating a second domain topology map for a second domain having a second domain topology;
- comparing said first domain topology with said second domain topology;
- matching objects in said first domain topology map with corresponding objects in said second domain topology map whenever said first domain topology matches said second domain topology;
- mapping said configuration data from said objects in said first domain to said corresponding objects in said second domain based on relationships between said objects in said first domain and said corresponding objects in said second domain as determined by relative positions of said objects in said first domain topology map and corresponding objects in said second domain topology map.
