1. A method for provisioning systems within a solution comprising:
- mapping a physical identifier of a component within a system to a logical identifier of the component within a system, the mapping conforming to a predetermined user identifiable naming convention;
mapping the logical identifier of the component within a system to an implementation identifier of the component within the system; and
,using the predetermined user identifiable naming convention to predictably map logical identifiers for a plurality of systems to corresponding implementation identifiers for a plurality of systems.

Abstract
A method for provisioning systems within a solution which includes mapping a physical identifier of a component within a system to a logical identifier of the component within a system and mapping the logical identifier of the component within a system to an implementation identifier of the component within the system. The mapping conforms to a predetermined user identifiable naming convention.

5. A method for configuring a plurality of systems within a solution comprising:
-
mapping physical identifiers of components within a compare system to respective logical identifiers of the components within the compare system, the mapping conforming to a predetermined user identifiable naming convention, the mapping providing a compare system configuration; comparing the logical identifiers of a base system configuration with logical identifiers of the compare system configuration, the compare determining whether logical identifiers of the compare system configuration match the logical identifiers of the base system configuration; translating the logical identifiers of the compare system to interface identifiers when the logical identifiers of the compare system configuration match the logical identifiers of the base system configuration; determining how to map the logical identifiers of the compare system to the logical identifiers of the base system when the logical identifiers of the compare system configuration do not match the logical identifiers of the base system configuration; mapping physical identifiers of components within a base system to respective logical identifiers of the components within the base system to generate the base system configuration, the mapping conforming to the predetermined user identifiable naming convention; and
,using the base system configuration to map multiple systems. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 11)
