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 or later. Also, the seed
switch runs on Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later 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 or later.
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.
