Versionstring2.8.1000 CIM_StorageBridgeNameBinding
DescriptionstringStorageBridgeBinding represents a binding between two transport-specific initiator port names. One name is associated with the initiator port in the format appropriate for the port type. The other name is an administratively assigned name with a format appropriate for transport on the target side of the bridge. This virtual initiator port name is used by the bridge when it communicates with targets from the bound initiator. This virtual name is needed for target device management functions that use initiator port names, such as LUN masking and mapping. For example, an Infiniband/FibreChannel bridge support Infiniband initiator ports and allows the administrator to assign a Fibre Channel Port WWN (AssignedPortName) to each Infiniband initiator (InitiatorPortName). The TargetName property from the superclass may be used to restrict this binding to a specific target. If TargetPort is left null, the binding affects all targets seen by the bridge. CIM_StorageBridgeNameBinding
DescriptionstringStorageNameBinding instances represent bindings between transport-specific devices names and either OS device names/addresses or virtual initiator names. Bindings are defined by administrators and are persistent. The binding defines names of other elements that may or may not correlate to other CIM classes. It must be possible to create these bindings in cases when CIM instances for these other elements are not available. This may be because the elements are temporarily unavailable or because the elements are managed by some other providers or because the binding represents a ’ black listed ’ device name. A SettingData models the persistence of the binding in the absence of the elements. In the descriptions below, FC API refers to the FC API as specified in the t11_5 workgroup, and IMA refers to the iSCSI Management API as specified in the SNIA IPS Management workgroup. Three types of bindings are modeled: - OSStorageNameBinding models a binding from a storage elements to OS device names or addresses (as used in FC API PersistentBindings and IMA ExposeLun. One side of the binding represents a device (as viewed from the system scoping the binding) and the name exposed by the scoping system. For example, Fibre Channel HBAs support binding of Fibre Channel port names (and optionally a SCSI logical unit identifier) to OS device names. Each time the system or device is stopped and restated, the same OS device name is bound to the device. - StorageBridgeNameBinding models gateways where a name valid for one transport is mapped to a name valid for a different transport. This binding is used in bridge devices that allow Infiniband or iSCSI host adapters to connect to Fibre Channel devices. - The third type of binding is similar to the first, but no OS device name or address is provided, the OS uses its usual rules to assign names. For this type of binding, the superclass can be used. CIM_StorageNameBinding
DescriptionstringThe SettingData class represents configuration-related and operational parameters for one or more ManagedElements. A ManagedElement can have multiple SettingData objects associated with it. The current operational values for the parameters of the element are reflected by properties in the Element itself or by properties in its associations. These properties do not have to be the same values that are present in the SettingData object. For example, a modem might have a SettingData baud rate of 56Kb/sec but be operating at 19.2Kb/sec. Note: The CIM_SettingData class is very similar to CIM_Setting, yet both classes are present in the model because many implementations have successfully used CIM_Setting. However, issues have arisen that could not be resolved without defining a new class. Therefore, until a new major release occurs, both classes will exist in the model. Refer to the Core White Paper for additional information. SettingData instances can be aggregated together into higher- level SettingData objects using ConcreteComponent associations. CIM_SettingData
DescriptionstringManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema. CIM_ManagedElement

Property BindingType Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringBindingType describes the type of binding expressed by the setting data instance. It also defines the interpretation of TargetName. BindToFcDID, FcApiBindToWWPN, and FcApiBindToWWNW represent bindings in a fibre channel HBA to a D_ID (destination ID), WWPN (World Wide Port Name), or WWNW (World Wide Node Name). LUID is a binding based on a SCSI Inquiry VPD page 83, Association 0 logical unit identifier. ’ iSCSI Name ’ represents a binding to an iSCSI target as used in IMA for Static Configuration (if TargetLUNumberValid is false) or an IMA (Un)Exposed LUN record (if TargetLUNumberValid is true). ’ iSCSI Network Address ’ represents a binding to an iSCSI network entity. It is formatted as a host name or IP address optionally followed by a plus ( ’ + ’ ) and a TCP port number. If ’ +port < # > ’ is omitted, the iSCSI default (3260) is used. ’ Bridge Binding ’ represents a binding between initiator IDs in a transport bridge device. CIM_StorageNameBinding

Property Hide Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringIf false (the default), the specified target unit(s) is exposed to the OS. If true, the OS-related properties are ignored, and the target related properties identify target unit(s) that are hidden from the OS. In most cases, this is false. CIM_StorageNameBinding

Property TargetName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe name (dependent on BindingType) identifying the SCSI target. If BindingType is FcApiBindToDID, TargetName holds a hexadecimal-encoded representation of the 32-bit D_ID and corresponds to FC API HBA_FCPID.FcId. If BindingType is FcApiBindToWWPN or FcApiBindToWWNN, TargetName holds a hexadecimal-encoded representation of the 64-bit FC Port or Node World Wide Name. If BindingType is BindToLUID, TargetName holds a SCSI Logical Unit Name from Inquiry VPD page 83, Association 0 as defined in SCSI Primary Commands. If the identifier descriptor (in the SCSI response) has Code Set Binary, then TargetName is its hexadecimal-encoded value. CIM_StorageNameBinding

Property InstanceID Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_SettingData
DescriptionstringWithin the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following " preferred " algorithm: < OrgID > : < LocalID > Where < OrgID > and < LocalID > are separated by a colon (:), and where < OrgID > must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the < Schema Name > _ < Class Name > structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, < OrgID > must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between < OrgID > and < LocalID > . < LocalID > is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above " preferred " algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the " preferred " algorithm must be used with the < OrgID > set to CIM. CIM_SettingData

Property ElementName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringA user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. CIM_ManagedElement
