System object model design

This deliverable describes the object model of the compute and storage system. This system object model is the dataset that the SDS framework helper functions will operate on. All provisioning requests from the SDS framework will use the system object model. The system object model is implemented as a database which requires setup. The database is created in two steps, step 1 using the Admin toolset which allows a high level abstraction of system containers with associated policies to be created, step 2 is to map physical assets to the logical groups and define the properties of those assets. The provisioning tools then use this database to make provisioning requests. This deliverable also contains the complete set of APIs to access the SDS system object model from other components developed in other workpackages.
