Element ordering
Within each XML element of the following XML Object Model, order of the sub-elements is important
for an XML file to validate with respect to the schema definition file provided with SPM.
XML object model
The UML model illustrated below describes the structure of the XML objects within an XML file
describing an unmanaged storage array. The elements of this model are described in more detail
in subsequent sections.
SanResourceCollection
A SanResourceCollection is the root object within an unmanaged SAN XML file. Each such file
must contain exactly one SanResourceCollection object. These objects define a collection of SANs,
and contain a sequence of zero or more NetworkResource objects. In practice a collection should
contain at least one NetworkResource.
