- Table 29 – DCIM_FCService.SetAttribute() Method: Return Code Values
- The SetAttributes() method is used to set or change the values of a group of attributes.
- Table 32 – DCIM_FCService.SetAttributes() Method: Return Code Values
- The CreateTargetedConfigJob() method is used to apply the pending values created by the SetAttribute and SetAttributes methods. The successful execution of this method creates a job for application of pending attribute values.
- CreateTargetedConfigJob method supports the following optional input parameters
- 1. RebootJobType: When provided in the input parameters, creates a specific reboot job to “PowerCycle”, “Graceful Reboot without forced shutdown”, or “Graceful Reboot with forced shutdown”. This parameter only creates the RebootJob and does not schedu...
- 2. ScheduledStartTime: When provided in the input parameters, schedules the “configuration job” and the optional “reboot job” at the specified start time. A special value of “TIME_NOW” schedules the job(s) immediately.
- 3. UntilTime: This parameter has a dependency on “ScheduledStartTime”, together “ScheduledStartTime” and “UntilTime” define a time window for scheduling the job(s). Once scheduled, jobs will be executed within the time window.
- If CreateTargetedConfigJob method is executed without the three optional parameters discussed above, then configuration job is created but not scheduled. However, this configuration job can be scheduled later using the DCIM_JobService.SetupJobQueue ()...

Profile Name: Fiber Channel
252
Version: 1.0.0
253
Organization: Dell Inc.
254
CIM Schema Version: 2.26 Experimental
255
Central Class: DCIM_FCService
256
Scoping Class: CIM_ComputerSystem
257
The Fiber Channel Profile extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by adding the
258
capability to describe fibre channel (FC) controllers in a simple way. In this profile, a FC HBA is
259
represented by a view instance that aggregates zero or more instances of the DCIM_FCAttribute class,
260
each representing an FC HBA related configurable property.
261
DCIM_FCService shall be the Central Class.
262
CIM_ComputerSystem shall be the Scoping Class.
263
Instance of DCIM_FCService shall be the Central Instance.
264
Instance of CIM_ComputerSystem shall be the Scoping Instance.

Table 1 identifies profiles that are related to this profile.

268
The Fiber Channel Profile describes FC HBA’s representation and configuration. The profile also
269
describes the relationship of the Fiber Channel Profile classes to the Dell profile version information.
270
Figure 1 represents the class schema for the Fiber Channel Profile. For simplicity, the prefix CIM_ has
271
been removed from the names of the classes.
272
The DCIM_FCView class is a FC HBA’s representation that contains controllers’ properties.
273
The DCIM_FCCapabilities class represents FC HBA’s capabilities.
274
The DCIM_FCStatistics class represents FC HBA’s port statistics.
275
The DCIM_FCAttribute class derives from the CIM_BIOSAttribute class and represents each FC’s
276
configurable attribute.Depending on the data type of the attribute, DCIM_FCAttribute is either instantiated
277
as DCIM_FCEnumeration, DCIM_FCString, or DCIM_FCInteger instance.
278
DCIM_FCView instance represents the FC HBA.
279
The DCIM_FCService class is used to configure the FC HBA through its attributes. The SetAttribute() and
280
SetAttributes() methods on the DCIM_FCService class configure FC HBA attributes, DCIM_FCAttribute
281
subclass instances.
282
The Fiber Channel Profile information is represented with the instance of CIM_RegisteredProfile.
