Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for performing an analysis on a Storage Area Network (SAN) system, containing a plurality of components, is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of representing selected ones of the plurality of components and the relationship among the components, wherein the representation comprises the steps of creating at least one non-specific representation of the selected components and creating at least one non-specification representation of relations along which the events propagate amongst the selected components, providing a mapping between a plurality events and a plurality of observable events occurring among the components, wherein the mapping is represented as a value associating each event with each observable event, and performing the system analysis based on the mapping of events and observable events.
