HPSAS_ArraySystem represents the top level system for the host based SAS HBA. Most SAS HBA
managed objects will be scoped (or associated) to this top level system instance. This instance of
HPSAS_ArraySystem will be associated to the central class (HPSAS_PortController) via
CIM_LogicalIdentity.
The use of PhysicalPackage will serve to model the physical aspects of the HBA and also the use of
HPSAS_Product to hold Marketing names for supported HBAs. HPSAS_PhysicalPackage is associated
to the Top Level System (HPSAS_ArraySystem) via CIM_SystemPackaging association.
HPSAS_Product is associated to HPSAS_PhysicalPackage via CIM_ProductPhysicalPackage.
The managed aspects of the actual controller are modeled in the HPSAS_ArrayController class. This is a
subclass of CIM_ComputerSystem and is associated to the Top Level System using CIM_ComponentCS.
This class will hold the Operational Status for the controller itself. The HPSAS_ArraySystem class will
hold the consolidated Operational Status for the array as a whole.
Front end ports are modeled as CIM_DAPorts which implies direct attached to the host bus (e.g. PCI,
PCI-X, etc.).
