Abstract

A computing system for automatic discovery of a storage cluster. A computing system includes a discovery server, which receives a user-input including authentication credentials associated with a storage cluster. The discovery server executes a discovery pattern comprising a sequence of operations for a discovery of a set of resources associated with the storage cluster, based on the received user-input. One of the sequence of operations may correspond to transmission of a plurality of Application Programming Interface (API) calls to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the storage cluster. The discovery server further receives a plurality of responses from the storage cluster. The plurality of responses includes information associated with the set of resources. The discovery server further generates a dependency map between the set of resources associated with the storage cluster based on the received information and outputs the generated dependency map.
