Abstract
System configuration is verified. Configuration information for a managed system is generated. The configuration information indicates existing software and hardware residing on the managed system. The configuration information is sent from the managed system to a management system. The management system compares the configuration information from the managed system with database information that indicates software and hardware supported by the management system in order to generate validity information that indicates any software or hardware on the managed system that is not supported by the management system. The validity information is sent from the management system to the managed system.
