IBMzOS_PortController

Purpose

The IBMzOS_PortController class represents a logical device corresponding to a hardware network port controller on z/OS. Port controllers provide various features depending on their types and versions. Since it is not possible from inband z/OS instrumentation to distinguish between Ports and PortControllers, the PortController provider returns one instance for each FCPort, using the same key information.

Indications

CIM_InstCreation

A life cycle indication that indicates that an instance of the IBMzOS_PortController class has been created.

CIM_IndicationFilter query string:

"SELECT * FROM CIM_InstCreation
WHERE SourceInstance ISA CIM_PortController"

CIM_InstDeletion

A life cycle indication that indicates that an instance of the IBMzOS_PortController class has been deleted.

CIM_IndicationFilter query string:

"SELECT * FROM CIM_InstDeletion
WHERE SourceInstance ISA CIM_PortController"
