MAPS groups overview
A MAPS group is a collection of similar objects that you can monitor using a common threshold.
You can create a group of objects and then use that group in rules, thus simplifying rule
configuration and management. For example, you can create a group of UNIX ports, and then
create specific rules for monitoring this group.
Predefined groups
MAPS provides several predefined groups that you cannot edit or delete.Table 12 lists these
predefined groups, organized by object type.
TABLE 12 Predefined MAPS groups
Predefined group name Object type Description
ALL_PORTS FC Port All ports in the logical switch.
ALL_E_PORTS FC Port All E_Ports and EX_Ports in the logical switch. This includes all the ports in
E_Port and EX_Port trunks as well.
ALL_F_PORTS FC Port All F_Ports in the logical switch. This includes all the ports in F_Port trunks
as well.
ALL_HOST_PORTS FC Port All ports in the logical switch connected to hosts. MAPS automatically
detects if a device connected on this port is a server device and adds it to
this set.
ALL_TARGET_PORTS FC Port All logical switch ports connected to targets. MAPS automatically detects
if a device connected on this port is a target device and adds it to this set.
If the device connected to the port is identified as both a Host and a
Target device, MAPS treats the port as Target port.
ALL_OTHER_F_PORTS FC Port All F_Ports in the logical switch which are neither Host ports nor Target
ports.
