The SCSI HBA profile is intended to represent the manageable elements of a SCSI HBA and the storage
connected to it. An HBA can be connected to SCSI disks contained within a server's internal drive cage or
an external drive enclosure. In addition, an HBA can manage limited aspects of a disk.
The central class for HBAs will be HPSCSI_HBAPortController and is associated to the Host system via
CIM_SystemComponent. HPSCSI_HBAComputerSystem represents the SCSI HBA. Most SCSI HBA
managed objects will be scoped (or associated) to this top level system instance. This instance of
HPSCSI_HBAComputerSystem will be associated to the central class (HPSCSI_HBAPortController) via
CIM_LogicalIdentity.
The use of Physical Asset Profile will serve to model the physical aspects of the HBA and also the use of
HPSCSI_Product to hold Marketing names for supported HBAs. HPSCSI_HBAPhysicalPackage is
associated to the HPSCSI_HBAPortController via CIM_SystemPackaging association. HPSCSI_Product
is associated to HPSCSI_HBAPhysicalPackage via CIM_ProductPhysicalPackage.
Front end ports are modeled as CIM_DAPorts which implies direct attached to the host bus (e.g. PCI,
PCI-X, etc.).
