class CIM_TargetPortGroup : CIM_SystemSpecificCollection


Description:

TargetPortGroup aggregates the ProtocolEndpoints representing a group of target ports in a storage server. The ProtocolEndpoints may be a subclass of CIM_ProtocolEndpoint as appropriate for the type of target port implemented by the storage server. The target ports are aggregated because they have the same affinity for an associated storage processor for failover and the same accessibility state to storage resources in a given StorageResourceLoadGroup. The TargetPortGroup may have either a fixed affinity for a storage processor within the server or an affinity that changes during failover from one storage processors to another. TargetPortGroup has a instance of the StorageProcessorAffinity association to each instance of CIM_ComputerSystem representing a storage processor that may host the TargetPortGroup in either a healthy or failover state. Each instance of TargetPortGroup in a storage server is also associated to each instance of StorageResourceLoadGroup in the server by the AsymmetricAccessibility class. There is an instance of CIM_HostedCollection associating the StorageResourceLoadGroup with the top-level CIM_ComputerSystem that aggregates the storage processor ComputerSystem instances.

Definition:

Feature Type Class Origin Qualifiers
Caption string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
MaxLen 64
Description string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
ElementName string CIM_ManagedElement
Description A 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.
InstanceID string CIM_SystemSpecificCollection
Key TRUE
Description Within 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 unique name. It can be a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID. Or, it could be a registered ID that is 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 re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity must ensure that the resulting InstanceID is not re-used as any of 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'.
