Address
The Address of an Endpoint is represented by a string that contains the network address in a format
appropriate for the type of network described. FibreChannel endpoint addresses are represented
by their World Wide Name (WWN) in canonical form. These addresses are not case sensitive.
ZoningState
ZoningState is an enumerated type representing the state of a zone. It has two possible values:
Open
, and Zoned. A network may be in the Open state only if it has no zones.
NetworkEndpointKind
NetworkEndPointKind is an enumerated type representing the implementation of the network for
a SAN network endpoint. It has two possible values: FibreChannel and IPAddress. SPM
supports only Fibre Channel networks.
AddressPattern
AddressPattern objects describe patterns of network addresses. These patterns may describe IP
network addresses or FC network addresses.
Description Type Property
A pattern, as described in “WWN patterns” (page 78) . String Pattern
A value from the AddressPatternKind enumeration, indicating the type
of network. Allowed Values are IPNetwork or FCnetwork AddressPatternKind Kind
Pattern
An AddressPatterns' pattern attribute is a string. For FC networks, the pattern is a partial WWN
with asterisks acting as wildcards when the partial WWN is compared with a complete WWN.
For more information on patterns, see
“WWN patterns” (page 78) .
Kind
An AddressPattern's kind attribute is either IPNetwork or FCNetwork, indicating what kind of
network the pattern may match against.
Example unmanaged SAN XML files
The following two example XML files represent unmanaged networks. The first example represents
a simple network that can be edited within SPM. The second example represents a slightly more
complex network that cannot be edited within SPM.
More complex networks will contain additional elements. An example can also be found in the
folder \plugins\unmanaged_san\example.xml. A precise
specification of what may be included in the XML files can be found in the xsd file defining the
format of these files in \plugins\unmanaged_storage\
HP.UnmanagedStorageArrayPlugin.xsd
.
