Abstract
In response to a variety of commands entered via a terminal unit, a configuration-management aiding apparatus directly connected to a computer system carries out various kinds of work such as laying-out of pieces of equipment, inspection of the layout of the pieces of equipment for an overlap, inspection of amounts of dissipated heat, inspection of amounts of consumed electrical power, inspection of connection of cables, creation of a cabling work specification manual, creation of a logical-configuration drawing and creation of configuration defining parameters. The configuration defining parameters are transferred to a file in the computer system. The terminal unit of the configuration-management aiding apparatus also functions as a console of the computer system.
