Examples: Using the “XYZ for Dependency” Classes when Creating Reports
The following table provides examples of when to use “XYZ for Dependency” classes when creating
reports:
• Storage System Fiber
Channel Ports
• Storage System Fiber
Channel Ports for
Dependency
• Use the Storage System Fiber Channel Ports class to find
all of the fiber channel ports for a given storage system,
Use this class only with the Storage System class and/or
its sub-classes, or in combination with Switch class and its
sub-classes.
• Use the Storage System Fiber Channel Ports for
Dependency class to find ports connected to other
elements. You must combine this class with the Storage
System class (and its sub-classes) and other classes such
as the Host or Application class. You cannot combine this
class with the Switch class. This class provides only the
Fiber channel port dependency or connectivity. For
example, it shows the Fiber channel port connected to an
HBA port. It does not show all Fiber channel ports for a
given storage system.
