Class CIM_SCSITargetPortGroup
extends CIM_SystemSpecificCollection

A class derived from SystemSpecificCollection that models SCSI Target Port Groups. SCSITargetPortGroup is part of the model for devices with asymmetric access to logical units - access is optimized for a subset of target ports. SCSITargetPortGroup is aggregated to SCSIProtocolEndpoints that expose a common ValueMap { 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }, Values { Active/Optimized, Active/Non-optimized, StandBy, Unavailable, Transitioning }, access state for a set of associated logical Units (modeled by various subclasses of LogicalDevice). SCSITargetPortGroups only apply to target devices with asymmetric multipath access and not to devices with symmetric (or single path) access.

NameData TypeValue
AccessStateuint16
DescriptionstringAccess to all associated logical units through all aggregated ports share this access state. Access to the Logical Units through other ports is specified by the access state of those port's target port group.
MappingStringsstringSPC.INCITS-T10 |Asymmetric Access State, MP_API.SNIA|MP_ACCESS_STATE_TYPE
ValueMapstring2, 3, 4, 5, 6
ValuesstringActive/Optimized, Active/Non-optimized, StandBy, Unavailable, Transitioning
Asymmetricbooleanfalse
DescriptionstringA boolean indicating whether the associated logical unit has asymmetric multipath access. If Asymmetric is true, then there MUST be a SCSITargetPortGroup instance associated to the LogicalDevice.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_MULTIPATH_LOGICAL_UNIT_PROPERTIES|asymmetric
Writebooleantrue
AutoFailbackEnableduint164
DescriptionstringThe auto-failback setting for the associated logical units. Either enabled, disabled, or all associated logical units follow the service-wide setting from the capabilities class associated with the appropriate service.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_MULTIPATH_LOGICAL_UNIT_PROPERTIES|autoFailbackEnabled
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_SCSIMultipathConfigurationCapabilities.AutoFailbackEnabled
ValueMapstring2, 3, 4
ValuesstringEnabled for the associated logical units, Disabled for the associated logical units, The associated logical units use the service-wide setting
Writebooleantrue
CurrentLoadBalanceTypeuint167
DescriptionstringThe load balance type for the associated logical unit.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_MULTIPATH_LOGICAL_UNIT_PROPERTIES|currentLoadBalanceType
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_SCSIMultipathSettings.OtherCurrentLoadBalanceType
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
ValuesstringUnknown, Other, No Load Balancing, Round Robin, Least Blocks, Least IO, Product Specific, Service Wide Default
Writebooleantrue
CurrentPollingRateuint32
DescriptionstringThe current polling rate (in seconds) for auto-failback. This cannot exceed PollingRateMax. If this property and the service-wide Capabilities instance CurrentPollingRate are non-zero, this value has precedence for the associated logical units. The instrumentation should not instantiate this property if the value from CIM_SCSIMultipathConfigurationCapabilities is used for the associated logical units.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_MULTIPATH_LOGICAL_UNIT_PROPERTIES|currentPollingRate
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_SCSIMultipathConfigurationCapabilities.CurrentPollingRate
Writebooleantrue
ExplicitFailoverboolean
DescriptionstringTrue indicates that the underlying implementation provides an interface allowing drivers to explicitly request activation of a target port group - either through the SCSI SET TARGET PORT GROUP or a proprietary command.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_TARGET_PORT_PROPERTIES|explicitFailover
Identifieruint16
DescriptionstringAn integer identifier for the target port group. This corresponds to the TARGET PORT GROUP field in the REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS response and the TARGET PORT GROUP field in an INQUIRY VPD page 85 response, type 5h identifier.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_TARGET_PORT_PROPERTIES|tpgID, SPC.INCITS-T10 | Target Port Group Descriptor | Target Port Group, SPC.INCITS-T10 | Inquiry VPD page 0x85 | Target Port Group
OtherCurrentLoadBalanceTypestring
DescriptionstringA string describing the current load balance algorithm if CurrentLoadBalanceType is 1 ('Other'). This string MUST be identical to one of the strings from CIM_SCSIMultipathConfigurationCapabilities OtherSupportedLoadBalanceAlgorithmNames.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_MULTIPATH_LOGICAL_UNIT_PROPERTIES|currentLoadBalanceType
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_SCSIMultipathConfigurationCapabilities.OtherSupportedLoadBalanceAlgorithmNames, CIM_SCSIMultipathSettings.CurrentLoadBalanceType
Writebooleantrue
PollingRateMaxuint32
DescriptionstringThe maximum polling rate (in seconds) supported by the driver if different from the service-wide max from the capabilities instance. Zero (0) indicates the driver either does not poll for autofailback or has not provided an interface to set the polling rate for multipath logical units. If this property and the service PollingRateMax are non-zero, this value has precedence for the associate logical units. The instrumentation should not instantiate this property if the value from CIM_SCSIMultipathConfigurationCapabilities is used for the associated logical units.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_MULTIPATH_LOGICAL_UNIT_PROPERTIES|pollingRateMax
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_SCSIMultipathConfigurationCapabilities.PollingRateMax
Writebooleantrue
Preferredboolean
DescriptionstringTrue indicates that the target device indicates that access to the associated logical units through the ports in this target port group is preferred over access through other ports. This may correspond to the PREF bit in the SCSI TARGET PORT GROUP descriptor or an equivalent vendor-specific interface.
MappingStringsstringMP_API.SNIA|MP_TARGET_PORT_PROPERTIES|preferredLUPath, SPC.INCITS-T10 | Target Port Group Descriptor | PREF
SupportsLuAssignmentboolean
DescriptionstringTrue indicates that the underlying implementation provides an interface allowing the administrator to reassign logical units to target port groups.
