ExposePaths: mapping hosts to a virtual disk
SMI-S clients can specify a set logical units visible to set of initiators (or VSM hosts) through a set of
target ports. The SMI-S specification defines the concept of a snapshot, or collection of initiators,
logical units, and target ports. Each initiator-logical unit-target port trio is referred to as a 'path'. A
'snapshot' is collection of 'paths' from which several trios can be formed. A masking and mapping
'snapshot' is modeled in the profile as a CIM_ProtocolController (subclassed as an
"HPSVSP_SCSIProtocolController" in this profile). SMI-S clients interested in exposing a VSM storage
entity (virtual disk or snapshot) to a set of intiators (for example, hosts) use the
