CIM_ProtocolControllerForDevice class

This association indicates a subclass of LogicalDevice (for example a Storage Volume) is connected through a specific ProtocolController. In many situations (for example storage LUN masking), there may be many of these associations used to relate to different objects. Therefore subclasses have been defined to optimize enumeration of the associations.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Members

The CIM_ProtocolControllerForDevice class has these types of members:

• Properties

Properties

The CIM_ProtocolControllerForDevice class has these properties.

AccessPriority

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

This property describes the priority given to accesses of the device through this Controller. The highest priority path will have the lowest value for this parameter.

AccessState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

The AccessState property describes the accessibility of the LogicalDevice through the ProtocolController.

Unknown (0) indicates the instrumentation does not know whether access is or is not functioning.

Active (2) indicates normal access.

Inactive (3) indicates the instrumentation knows this path is not active, and one of the other values (below) does not apply.

Replication in Progress (4) indicates that the path is temporarily inactive due to a replication activity.

Mapping Inconsistency (5) indicates the instrumentation has detected that this path is inactive due to an inconsistency in the DeviceNumber/DeviceAccess configuration.

Unknown (0)

Active (2)

Inactive (3)

Replication In Progress (4)

Mapping Inconsistency (5)

Antecedent

Data type: CIM_ProtocolController

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("Antecedent")

The ProtocolController.

Dependent

Data type: CIM_LogicalDevice

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("Dependent")

The controlled Device.

DeviceNumber

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Address of the associated Device in the context of the Antecedent Controller.
