Abstract
Disclosed is a method, apparatus and system for managing generic objects and storage device objects over a network. In one aspect of the invention, the management apparatus includes a management console having a graphical user interface for displaying a physical view and a logical view of a storage device. The management apparatus further includes a managed object of the storage device that is configured to communicate with the graphical user interface of the management console through a facet interface that is wrapped around the managed object. The facet interface is divided into a plurality of specific facets that communicate with the graphical user interface and enable the display of the physical view and the logical view of the storage device. In a further aspect of the present invention, the graphical user interface includes a plurality of generic views which are configured to communicate with associated ones of the plurality of specific facets of the facet interface. These aspects enable the facet interface of the managed object to be separate and de-coupled from a software code of the graphical user interface.
