System and method to provide system independent configuration references
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a persistent storage unit to persistently retain a plurality of system independent configuration entries, at least some of the plurality containing references to other configuration entries;
a configuration resolver to resolve the references to obtain a system dependent static configuration value; and
a configuration consumer to receive the system dependent static configuration value without knowledge of the reference.

Abstract
A system and method to reduce configuration redundancy using system independent configuration references. A persistent storage unit returns system independent configuration entries. Some of the entries contain reference to other entries. A configuration resolver resolves the references to obtain a static value for the configuration entry that may be passed to a configuration consumer.

5. A machine-accessible medium containing instructions that when executed cause a machine to:
-
obtain an first configuration entry containing a reference to a second configuration entry at least the first configuration entry independent of a physical system; and
resolve the reference to obtain a static value for the first configuration entry, the static value corresponding to the physical system. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
