SAN
A SAN is represented in CIM by AdminDomain. Fabrics in a SAN are represented in CIM by the
ContainedDomain relationship and are not modeled in Fabric Manager. Fabric Manager has only
one SAN and all fabrics are added to that SAN.
Fabric
A fabric is represented in CIM by AdminDomain. Use the CIM_AdminDomain view to access the
fabric table.
Switch
A switch is represented in CIM by ComputerSystem. A switches table and switch_detail table exist
in the Fabric Manager database. To access this data, use the CIM_ComputerSystem view.
NOTE
The CIM_ComputerSystem view does not filter out phantom switches.
