EDL - ENTITY Statement
The ASAP EDL Entity statement lets you define entities and the properties associated
with an entity. Entity property definitions include information such as the command
used to retrieve statistics from the host for that entity.
In ASAP, an entity is a class of objects such as a CPU, Disk, Expand, or Application
domain. The purpose of the entity statement is to let HP system entities, customer
application domains, and third-party entities be defined without modifying ASAP
internally.
