Abstract
A system, method, apparatus, and computer program product for determining a configuration of a converged infrastructure are disclosed. A method may include performing a scan of network addresses for components of the converged infrastructure. The method may further include capturing fingerprints of components discovered by the scan. The method may additionally include identifying the components discovered by the scan based at least in part on a comparison between each captured fingerprint and one or more known component fingerprints in a fingerprint library, which may include a set of known component fingerprints and associated component identities. The method may further include accessing at least one identified component. The method may also include determining a component configuration of each of at least one accessed component.
