The IBMzOS_SBInitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath class is a three way association between an z/OS disk device, identified by the LogicalUnit reference, the channel, identified by the Initiator reference and the control unit, identified by the Target reference. Each permutation of initiator and target ProtocolEndpoints and logical units is considered as a separate path.

Retrieving the data for IBMzOS_SBInitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath is only possible under the following conditions:

1. The used hardware is at least an IBM® System z10™.
2. The requestor or CIM client user ID has UPDATE access to the IOSCDR profile.

• CIM_InitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath
• ← IBMzOS_SBInitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath

The module name of the CMPI provider that is registered for a CIM class which is used by the cimprovider command line tool for the administration of CMPI providers is

• IBMzOS_SBInitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPathProviderModule

The physical name of a CMPI provider’s shared object library as it is stored in the hierarchical file system is

• libcmpiIBMzOS_SBInitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPathProvider.so

• Host Discovered Resources Profile
• Storage HBA profile

CIM_InstCreation

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

CIM_IndicationFilter query string: 

"SELECT * FROM CIM_InstCreation
WHERE SourceInstance ISA
CIM_InitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath"

CIM_InstModification

A life cycle indication that indicates a path state change of an instance of the IBMzOS_SBInitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath class.

CIM_IndicationFilter query string: 

"SELECT * FROM CIM_InstModification
WHERE SourceInstance ISA
CIM_InitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath AND
SourceInstance.CIM_InitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath::State
<>
PreviousInstance.CIM_InitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath::State"

CIM_InstDeletion

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

CIM_IndicationFilter query string: 

"SELECT * FROM CIM_InstDeletion
WHERE SourceInstance ISA
CIM_InitiatorTargetLogicalUnitPath"
