Facilitating provisioning in a mixed environment of locales
First Claim
1. A management server comprising:
- a storage table configured to store a plurality of logical device operations, a plurality of locales, and a plurality of workflows;
a provisioning circuit configured to dynamically determine, for a required logical device operation among the plurality of logical device operations, a resource server among all resource servers connected to the management server by way of provisioning, wherein each resource server among all of the resource servers connected to the management server is associated with a different one of the plurality of locales in advance of the provisioning; and
a calling circuit configured to, upon the resource server being dynamically determined for the required logical device operation, search the storage table using a locale among the plurality of locales that is associated with the dynamically determined resource server to select a workflow from the plurality of workflows for the required logical device operation.

Abstract
Aspects capable of dynamically and flexibly supporting a plurality of locales upon provisioning are provided. An associated management server includes a storage table configured to store a plurality of logical device operations, a plurality of locales, and a plurality of workflows. The management server further includes a provisioning circuit configured to dynamically determine, for a required logical device operation among the plurality of logical device operations, a resource server among all resource servers connected to the management server by way of provisioning. Each of the resource servers is associated with a different one of the plurality of locales in advance of the provisioning. The management server further includes a calling circuit configured to search the storage table using a locale among the plurality of locales that is associated with the dynamically determined resource server to select a workflow from the plurality of workflows for the required logical device operation.

8. A computer program product on a non-transitory recording medium for causing a computer to function as a management server, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions, which, when loaded in and executed by the computer, causes the computer to perform the steps of:
-
storing, via a storage table, a plurality of logical device operations, a plurality of locales, and a plurality of workflows; dynamically determining, for a required logical device operation among the plurality of logical device operations, a resource server among all resource servers connected to the management server by way of provisioning, wherein each resource server among all of the resource servers connected to the management server is associated with a different one of the plurality of locales in advance of the provisioning; and upon dynamically determining the resource server for the required logical device operation, searching the storage table using a locale among the plurality of locales that is associated with the dynamically determined resource server to select a workflow from the plurality of workflows for the required logical device operation. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for causing a computer to function as a management server, the method comprising:
-
storing, via a storage table, a plurality of logical device operations, a plurality of locales, and a plurality of workflows; dynamically determining, for a required logical device operation among the plurality of logical device operations, a resource server among all resource servers connected to the management server by way of provisioning, wherein each resource server among all of the resource servers connected to the management server is associated with a different one of the plurality of locales in advance of the provisioning; and upon dynamically determining the resource server for the required logical device operation, searching the storage table using a locale among the plurality of locales that is associated with the dynamically determined resource server to select a workflow from the plurality of workflows for the required logical device operation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
