An apparatus, system, and method are provided for facilitating management
of logical nodes through a single management module. The present
invention includes a communication module that selectively communicates a
management command from a single management module to one or more logical
nodes. A translation module translates the management command into one or
more functionally equivalent software-layer commands recognized by one of
the software layers of the one or more logical nodes. The software-layer
commands are compatible with each logical node. A direction module
directs the one or more software-layer commands to an appropriate one of
the software layers according to a management command scope. The present
invention can address management commands to a plurality of logical nodes
having disparate operating systems and executing applications.
