IBMzOS_SoftwareIdentity

Purpose

The IBMzOS_SoftwareIdentity class provides descriptive information about a software component for asset tracking or installation dependency management.

The idea behind SoftwareIdentity as defined in the SMI-S Storage HBA profile does not match the concepts of z/OS®. Therefore this class has only been implemented for formal compliance with the SMI-S Storage HBA profile.

For z/OS 1.12, therefore only one instance of IBMzOS_SoftwareIdentity is created and associated to all PortControllers. .
