FC routing 3 FIGURE 37 Fibre Channel Router data model • FCR devices of Brocade act as normal switches and routers. Therefore, the switch which is router capable and functioning in multi-domain mode, has both physical and logical representation in SMIS. The FCR is represented by two instances of CIM_ComputerSystem, a Brocade_Switch and a Brocade_PhysicalComputerSystem associated by CIM_HostedDependency(Brocade_SwitchInPCS). • The Brocade_PhysicalComputerSystem, in addition to being associated to the BackBone Brocade_Switch instance, will also be associated to Brocade_Switch instances of front and xlate phantoms. • Both the xlate phantom and front phantom switches are represented as Brocade_Switch instances. The front phantom domain and xlate phantom domain switches are associated by the Brocade_SANActiveConnection. These phantom switches can be differentiated by Brocade_Switch.OtherIdentifyingInfo property value (which would have the values as Translate Domain, Front Domain, and None for translate phantom domain, front phantom domain, and ordinary switches respectively). • The InteropMode property of front phantom domain and xlate phantom domain switches are not populated.

FIGURE 37
Fibre Channel Router data model
•
FCR devices of Brocade act as normal switches and routers. Therefore, the switch which is
router capable and functioning in multi-domain mode, has both physical and logical
representation in SMIS. The FCR is represented by two instances of CIM_ComputerSystem, a
Brocade_Switch and a Brocade_PhysicalComputerSystem associated by
CIM_HostedDependency(Brocade_SwitchInPCS).
•
The Brocade_PhysicalComputerSystem, in addition to being associated to the BackBone
Brocade_Switch instance, will also be associated to Brocade_Switch instances of front and
xlate phantoms.
•
Both the xlate phantom and front phantom switches are represented as Brocade_Switch
instances. The front phantom domain and xlate phantom domain switches are associated by
the Brocade_SANActiveConnection. These phantom switches can be differentiated by
Brocade_Switch.OtherIdentifyingInfo property value (which would have the values as
Translate
Domain
,
Front Domain
, and
None
for translate phantom domain, front phantom domain, and
ordinary switches respectively).
•
The InteropMode property of front phantom domain and xlate phantom domain switches are
not populated.
