Differentiation between switches and domains
The following properties are used in CIM_CompterSystem to differentiate a simple switch, a switch
created through VF, a switch created through Inter-Fabric Routing Profile (IFR), differentiating Front
Domain from the Translate Domain, and the physical system that is partitioned.
IdentifyingDescriptions = {"DomainID", "SNIA:DetailedType"};
OtherIdentifyingInfo = {"1", "Front Domain"}; where "1" is DomainID and type is Front Domain.
OtherIdentifyingInfo has the value of DomainID and switch detailed type (Front Domain, Translate
Domain, Virtual Switch or None).
In case of VF setup, OtherIdentifyingInfo additionally has the values of the VF_ID, and
IdentifyingDescriptions properties additionally has the value SNIA:VF_ID as the detailed type.
PortDiscriminator in CIM_FCPort differentiates among ports that support IFR (FCR), internal and
external ports, Virtual Fabrics (VF), Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE). This property is applicable for only logical ports. The possible values are given in

Physical package, access points, software, blades, and
location subprofiles
The Physical Package, Access Points, Software, Blades, and Location subprofiles model the
product information of a switch, the URL to launch the element manager of a switch, the blades
within the chassis, and the details such as primary system owner name, contact, and location for a
Brocade_Chassis.
