Forming configuration information about components of systems which include components for which acquisition of configuration information is restricted
First Claim
1. A method in a system for forming configuration information about components of a system which includes a first component for which acquisition of configuration information is restricted, the method comprising:
- identifying the existence of the first component from configuration information about one or more other components except the first component;
retrieving, from a storage storing pattern data for analogizing configuration information about a component for which acquisition of the configuration information is restricted, the pattern data being associated with a set of one or more conditions and one or more attribute values, such pattern data that configuration information about a component related to the first component, among the one or more other components, satisfies the set of conditions; and
forming analogized configuration information about the first component using one or more attribute values associated with the retrieved pattern data.

Abstract
A mechanism is provided for managing configuration information about components of a management target system. Identification is made of the existence of a first component from configuration information about one or more other components except the first component. Pattern data is stored for analogizing configuration information about a component for which acquisition of the configuration information is restricted, the pattern data being associated with a set of one or more conditions and attribute values. Pattern data is retrieved whose configuration information about a component related to the first component, among the one or more other components, satisfies the set of conditions. Analogized configuration information is formed about the first component using attribute values associated with the retrieved pattern data.
