About CIM and the CIM tables
The Common Information Model (CIM) is an industry standard developed by the Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF). CIM describes application data so that administrators can view
data from different platforms and vendors in the same way. CIM is not a database.
Each table in this appendix lists the following:
• Column View column name.
• Type Value type. For example, string, int, long, and so on.
• Qualifier A modifier that describes the class.
• Description Brief description of the column.
• Database EquivalentHow to access the element in the Fabric Manager database, represented
by one of the following:
• Database table and column. For example, “fabric.dbid”.
• SQL query. For example, “select switches.wwn from switches, switch_detail, fabric
where...”
• Fixed value. For example, “WWN”.
• Example An example return value.
