  • System and program for managing devices in a network
    Patent number: 7849179
    Abstract: Provided are a system, and program for managing devices in a network. A command of a first type to perform device management operations with respect to at least one device in the network is received, wherein the received command is capable of being directed to at least one of a plurality of devices in the network. A determination is made from a first mapping of a network address of the device to which the received command is directed. A determination is made from a second mapping of at least one command of a second type associated with the received command of the first type, wherein the mapping indicates a mapping of at least one parameter included in the received command of the first type to at least one parameter in the associated command of the second type.

  • Method, system, and article of manufacture for generating device specific requests
    Patent number: 7587421
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture for managing devices, wherein in certain embodiments a request implemented via at least one device independent class is received. A class hierarchy database is traversed to determine at least one device specific class that corresponds to the at least one device independent class, wherein the class hierarchy database stores a class hierarchy and associations between classes. The received request is modified, wherein in the modified request the least one device independent class has been translated to the at least one device specific class.
