Establishing Relationships Among Elements In A Computing System
First Claim
1. A method of establishing relationships among elements in a computing system, the computing system including one or more servers, one or more switches, the one or more servers and one or more switches forming one or more local area networks and also forming one or more virtual local area networks, the method comprising:
- identifying, for each server in the computing system, physical topology data;
identifying, for each server in the computing system, virtual topology data; and
creating, in dependence upon the physical topology data and the virtual topology data, a system map.
