Abstract
Method and apparatus for detecting changes in a configuration of a computer system including a host computer and at least one computer system resource. Information relating to a reference configuration of the computer system is stored at a first point in time. A current configuration of the computer system is determined at a second point in time. The current configuration of the computer system is compared with the reference configuration to determine whether the current configuration differs from the reference configuration. An indication is provided when the current configuration of the computer system differs from the reference configuration.
