Abstract of the Disclosure In the system and method of this invention, a data processing system is dynamically configured during IPL (initial program load) time. All of the entities of the data processing system, including physical and logical devices, are represented as objects in an object oriented database. The object oriented database also contains an object class of rules which define the sequence of events that are needed in order to configure the system. A number of methods are defined to perform specific functional operations on the objects. A configuration manager invokes the appropriate method to perform operations on the objects according to the rules. The objects are dynamically defined, configured, started, stopped, unconfigured, and undefined independent of whether the objects represent physical or logical entities. In this way, both physical and logical entities are configured in a consistent and similar fashion.
