Fabric profile

Prerequisites

Only the HBAs that register a FDMI host name in the Name Server (NS) on the switch or fabric

support the Brocade_Platform model. Currently, the EOS switches do not support FDMI. Therefore,

HBAs connected to EOS switches do not support the Brocade_Platform model, including the

instance classes and association classes.

NOTE

The switch connected to an FDMI-enabled HBA runs on Fabric OS v7.0.0. Also, the seed switch runs

on Fabric OS v7.0.0 to support this profile.

Registration

Refer to “Registration” on page 18.

Data model

Figure 19 shows the class diagram of the classes and properties supported in the FDMI subprofile.

The instances for the CIM classes Brocade_SoftwareIdentity, Brocade_HBAProduct,

Brocade_PhysicalHBA, and Brocade_PortController are available as part of the FDMI subprofile

provided the switches are running Fabric OS v7.0.0.

For a single-node single-port HBA, there is a single Brocade_Node instance hosted on a

Brocade_Platform and a single Brocade_PortController representing the logical aspects of the

Brocade_PhysicalHBA controlling a single Brocade_NodeFCPort.

For a single-node dual-port HBA, there is a single Brocade_Node hosted on a Brocade_Platform

and a single Brocade_PortController representing the logical aspects of the Brocade_PhysicalHBA

controlling both Brocade_NodeFCPort instances.

For a dual-node dual-port HBA, there are two Brocade_Node instances hosted on the same

Brocade_Platform and a single Brocade_PortController representing the logical aspects of the

Brocade_PhysicalHBA controlling both Brocade_NodeFCPort instances.
