   Configuration information is stored in the databases of the Object Data   
   Manager (ODM), an object-oriented database management system which is   
   part of the Device Configuration Subsystem. A general description of   
   every device which could possibly be in the system at any given time is   
   stored in the Predefined Devices (PdDv) database.   
      
   Devices are uniquely identified by a class, subclass, and a type   
   expressed in the form class/subclass/type, reflecting the device   
   hierarchy. An example is the ethernet interface card   
   -adapter/mca/ethernet. This information, along with names of the   
   appropriate device driver and configuration routines, is stored in the   
   PdDv database. Information specific to each individual device, such as   
   bus I/O address, is stored in the Predefined Attributes (PdAt) database.   
      
   The default value, the acceptable range of values, and type information   
   are included for each attribute.
