Abstract
A configuration management tool initiates display of a listing of multiple different types of managed resources present in a storage area network environment. Based on user input, the resource manager receives a selection of two or more types of managed resources from the listing. In addition to receiving a select of two or more types of resources in the listing, the resource manager application receives search criteria associated with each of the selected two or more types of managed resources. The configuration manager initiates a search for objects (in one or more repositories) that satisfy the search criteria and are of a managed resource type as indicated by the selection. The configuration manager application then produces a report indicating the objects (i.e., storage area network resources and corresponding management information) that satisfy the search criteria. After receiving the report (e.g., search results) that satisfies the search criteria, the user can select a storage area network resource in the report to view information associated with the selected resource. Further, the user can select from multiple different viewing options to view different types of information associated with the selected resource.
