A processor (e.g., a search function) searches for particular
interoperability records stored in a data structure to identify whether a
proposed configuration includes a set of compatible components. For
example, a processor receives a query including one or more parameter
values identifying a grouping of one or more corresponding unique
resources that may or may not be compatible for use in a respective
storage area network. Based on receipt of the query, the processor
initiates a search with respect to a data structure of interoperability
records sorted according to multiple parameter values associated with
each respective record. In response to initiating the search, the
processor identifies any records in the data structure that include the
one or more parameter values identified in the query.
