Abstract

Configuration requirements for an Availability Management Framework (AMF) configuration are generated from high level user requirements that specify a subset of properties of an AMF configuration. The user requirements are first mapped into entity prototypes defined in an extended Entity Types File (ETF) model. A computer system identifies additional entity prototypes and dependency thereof that support functionalities of the mapped entity prototypes under a set of grouping conditions. The computer system calculates the required number of component service instances (CSIs) and service instances (SIs) that satisfy the user requirements. The calculation is based on the subset of the properties specified by the user requirements and measurements associated with the entity prototypes in the extended ETF model. The computer system then forms configuration requirements including the required number of CSIs and SIs for generating the AMF configuration that satisfies the user requirements.
