Determining logical configuration commands to create a logical object

摘要

An approach to generating logical configuration commands for logical objects in a system. A method may involve receiving a command requesting the logical configuration commands to configure the specified logical object (subject logical object) and the logical objects that support the logical object (the support logical objects). The method may also involve determining what logical objects in the system support the subject logical object. This may require determining the support logical objects that directly support the subject logical object, and then recursively examining each support logical objects to find the logical objects on which they depend. For each logical object (whether the subject logical object or one of the support logical objects), the method may involve determining the logical configuration commands to appropriately create and modify the logical object. The logical configuration commands may then be presented to the user.

1. A computer program product comprising computer readable code stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising code that when executed by a processor is configured to:
receive a command identifying a subject logical object, wherein the command requests one or more logical configuration commands to independently create the subject logical object and one or more support logical objects, wherein the one or more support logical objects are logical objects on which the subject logical object depends; determine the one or more support logical objects; for each support logical object, determine whether the support logical object is stored in a data structure of identified support logical objects and storing the support logical object in the data structure in response to determining that the support logical object is not stored in the data structure; for each subject logical object and support logical object stored in the data structure, determine one or more logical configuration commands for independently configuring the logical object, wherein the one or more logical configuration commands are stored in a configuration library; and provide to a user, for each logical object, the one or more logical configuration commands for independently configuring the logical object.
