Methods, apparatus and media for system management of object oriented information models

Abstract

A computer implemented method is disclosed including receiving a client request from a client within an object-oriented model and intercepting said client request with a client abstraction layer able to communicate with said client and a management layer database. The method further includes generating with said client abstraction layer a request for information from said management layer database, wherein said database comprises information describing each managed object of said object-oriented model. An information handling system is further disclosed including a processor and memory accessible by the processor. The system further includes instructions stored on the memory that when carried out cause the system to initialize a discovery process identifying each managed object of the information handling system. The instructions further cause the system to add to a management layer database created by a client abstraction layer, the management layer database comprising information describing each managed object of said system any new information describing the managed object of the system, wherein said new information is not already present in the management layer database, and wherein said database is created when said instructions are installed on said system.
