Storage Library Subprofiles
The following subprofiles are available for the storage library profile.
Library Capacity Subprofile
Using the ConfigurationCapacity and ElementCapacity classes, servers publish the minimum and
maximum number of slots, drives, magazines, media changers, and other elements associated with the
library.
Software Subprofile
Using the SoftwareIdentity class, provides information on the installed controller software. This is
linked to the controller using an InstalledSoftwareIdentity association.
Location Subprofile
Using an instance of a Location class and the PhysicalElementLocation association, provides the
location of a SAN element. Associated with product information, a PhysicalPackage may also have a
location.
Access Points Subprofile
Provides remote access points for management tools.
Devices with a web GUI allow device-specific configurations. This is modeled using a
RemoteServiceAccessPoint
. This is linked to the managed element using a HostedAccessPoint
association. Only the HostedAccessPoint association needs to be instantiated. The
HostedAccessPoint
associates the service to the System on which it is hosted.
Limited Access Port Subprofile
Libraries contain Limited Access Ports elements (mail slots, cartridge access ports, or import/export
elements). This subprofile defines the required classes necessary to publish information about these
common components.
Physical Package Subprofile
CIM has a strong separation between the physical and logical sides of the model. A system is "realized"
using a SystemPackaging association to a PhysicalPackage (or one of its subclasses such as
Chassis
). The physical containment model can then be built using Container associations and
subclasses.
Physical elements can be described as products by using the Product and
ProductPhysicalComponent
associations.
Fibre Channel Target Port Subprofile
The Fibre Channel Target Port Subprofile models the Fibre Channel-specific aspects of a target storage
system. For Fibre Channel ports, the concrete subclass of CIM_LogicalPort is CIM_FCPort.
CIM_FCPort
is always associated 1 to 1 with a CIM_SCSIProtocolEndpoint instance.
