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.
This appendix describes the database views of the following elements within Fabric Manager so that
they can be accessed by a CIM model:
• “SAN” on page A-2
• “Fabric” on page A-2
• “Switch” on page A-2
• “Device” on page A-3
• “Switch Port” on page A-4
• “Device Port” on page A-7
• “Zone_config” on page A-7
• “Zone” on page A-8
• “Zone Membership” on page A-8
• “Zone Alias” on page A-9

• Column View column name.
• Type Value type. For example, string, int, long, and so on.
