Abstract
A command request may be made to create a new entity in a data storage system. The new entity may be depend upon one or more base objects required to exist prior to creating the new entity. The command request may be processed in accordance with a selected policy affecting the required base objects. The selected policy may be one of a defined set of policies affecting actions taken with respect to the required base objects and new entity. For example, the policies may provide for automatically creating the required base objects and new entity; automatically selecting existing base objects used to create the new entity; generating a command list of recommend commands for creating the required base objects and the new entity; and generating a recommend list of existing base objects and a command for creating the new entity using at least one of the existing base objects.
