Abstract
A processor (e.g., a search function) searches for particular interoperability records stored in a data structure to identify whether a proposed configuration includes a set of compatible components. For example, a processor receives a query including one or more parameter values identifying a grouping of one or more corresponding unique resources that may or may not be compatible for use in a respective storage area network. Based on receipt of the query, the processor initiates a search with respect to a data structure of interoperability records sorted according to multiple parameter values associated with each respective record. In response to initiating the search, the processor identifies any records in the data structure that include the one or more parameter values identified in the query.
