Device
In CIM, a device is a host or an array, both represented by ComputerSystem.
Use the CIM_LogicalPortGroup view to access the Device table in the Fabric Manager database (see
Table 28).
Switch port
CIM uses an FCPort class and a ProtocolEndPoint class for switch ports. Fabric Manager provides a
CIM_FCPort view for the FCPort class. This view also contains rows for device ports. The CIM_FCPort view
does not filter out virtual ports created for phantom switches. Virtual ports do not automatically show up in
the switch_port table; they are created when a device node is imported from the phantom switches.
Fabric Manager does not have a view for the ProtocolEndPoint class (see Table 29).

If join fails (for offline
devices), set to -1.
