Configuration validation and ambiguous mapping

A computer program product including a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon for processing data information, such that the instructions, when carried out by a processing device, enable the processing device to:

• receive configuration information associated with a combination of storage area network resources;
• identify that a particular storage area network resource of the storage area network resources maps to multiple different possible types of resources;
• and
• initiate validation of the combination of storage area network resources with respect to known acceptable configurations even though the particular storage area network resource maps to multiple different possible types of resources.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory unit that stores instructions associated with an application executed by the processor;
• and
• an interconnect coupling the processor and the memory unit, enabling the computer system to execute the application and perform operations of:
• receiving configuration information associated with a combination of storage area network resources;
• identifying that the particular storage area network resource of the storage area network resources maps to multiple different possible types of resources;
• and
• initiating validation of the combination of storage area network resources with respect to known acceptable configurations even though the particular storage area network resource maps to multiple different possible types of resources.
