Abstract
The invention includes method and apparatus for generating a protocol agent adapted to facilitate communications between a managed system and at least one management system. The method includes generating an implementation of a unified information model from an information model specification and generating the protocol agent from a protocol specification. The protocol specification includes first mappings to the information model specification and the protocol agent includes second mappings to the implementation of the unified information model. The second mappings are formed using the first mappings. The information model specification includes a model of hardware of the managed system. The implementation of the unified information model includes a plurality of logical entities, wherein the logical entities represent a plurality of physical entities of the managed system. The protocol specification includes a model of a protocol. The protocol agent includes a plurality of protocol entities.
