AG mapping
represents the Brocade Network Advisor SMI Agent model for discovery of a host
The instance of Brocade_Platform with Dedicated property values as Not dedicated represents
the HBA attached to the AG. This platform instance is shown if the HBA is FDMI-enabled and
the hostname is known to Network Advisor. For more details, refer to the
page 50.
If the value of Dedicated property is Gateway of Brocade_AccessGateway, then it represents
the AG.
The association between the SANProtocolEndPoint of switch and AGSANProtocolEndPoint of
AG is Brocade_AGSANActiveConnection. The association between AGSANProtocolEndPoint of
AG and SANProtocolEndPoint of the end device (host) is Brocade_AGSANActiveConnection. The
two associations create a direct association between the SANProtocolEndPoint of the switch
and the SANProtocolEndPoint of the end device (host).
The SANProtocolEndPoint of the switch is associated with the F_Ports of AG, by
Brocade_AGSANProtocolEndPointLogicalIdentity. The F_Port of AG is internally mapped to
N_Ports of AG, which is connected to the switch.
