LUN
The LUN is the logical unit number that the host will use to represent the volume the storage array
is presenting to that host.
InitiatorEndpointObjectID
The InitiatorEndpointObjectID is a string representing the ObjectID of a host that has been granted
access to this volume. This is represented as an ObjectID rather than a reference to a
StorageArrayHostEndpoint because XML does not allow circular references. This ObjectID must
have a corresponding entry in the list of StorageArrayHostEntries owned by the StorageArray
containing this VolumePresentation.
TargetPortObjectIDs
The TargetPortObjectIDs is a sequence of strings representing the ObjectIDs of the various
StorageArrayPorts that are presented to the host indicated by the InitiatorEndpointObjectID. These
ObjectIDs must have corresponding entries in the list of StorageArrayPorts owned by the
StorageArray containing this VolumePresentation.
NetworkEndpoint
A NetworkEndpoint represents a network end point.
DescriptionTypeProperty
Optional object unique identifier.StringObjectID
The network address of the network end
point.
StringAddress
A literal describing the type of network.UnmanagedNetworkEndpointKindKind
Address
The address of a NetworkEndpoint is represented as a string. Typically, these addresses will be
in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where x represents a hexadecimal digit. However,
SPM attempts to correct network addresses that are not in this canonical format.
Kind
The kind of a network end point is from the UnmanagedNetworkEndpointKind enumeration. It must
be one of the following literals: FibreChannel, SerialAttachedScsi, Ethernet, iSCSI.
At this time, SPM is anticipated to use only FibreChannel endpoints, but future releases of SPM
may support additional network types.
StorageArrayPort
A StorageArrayPort represents a local port on the storage array containing this object. This type
inherits from the NetworkEndpoint type.
DescriptionTypeProperty
Optional object unique identifier.StringObjectID
The network address of the network end
point.
StringAddress
A literal describing the type of network.UnmanagedNetworkEndpointKindKind
The name of this storage array port.StringName
