Autonomic assistance for policy generation
First Claim
1. A system for autonomically assisting in the creation of an administrative policy comprising:
- a systems administration component coupled to a system under study;
a workflow component configured for communicative linkage to a plurality of policy makers, said workflow component comprising a further configuration for routing stimuli and response data from said system under study to a selected one of said policy makers; and
, a policy generation component coupled to said workflow component and configured to generate an administrative policy for administering said system under study based upon data collected from said selected one of said policy makers for said stimuli and response data.

Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for autonomically assisting in the creation of an administrative policy. The method can include detecting a stimuli in a system under study and monitoring a response by a systems administrator to the stimuli. The stimuli and the response can be forwarded to a policy maker suited to analyze the stimuli and the response. Also, the policy maker can be queried for a preferred response to the stimuli. Based upon the preferred response to the stimuli, a policy for responding to the stimuli can be formulated. As such, the policy can be enforced in managing the system under study. Moreover, the policy can be forwarded for future consideration to the systems administrator.
