Class CIM_ProtocolControllerAccessesUnit
extends CIM_ProtocolControllerForDevice

This association is used to define a relationship between a protocol controllers and a Logical Unit (for example a Storage Volume or Media Access Device) controlled by the controller. This association is used instead of ProtocolControllerForUnit to indicate a 'controlled through' relationship rather than a 'controlled by' one. An example is SCSI where this association is used to indicate a target/initiator relationship.

AccessPriorityuint16
DescriptionstringThis property describes the priority given to accesses of the device through this Controller. The highest priority path will have the lowest value for this parameter.None TRANSLATABLE= true
AccessStateuint16
DescriptionstringThe State property indicates whether the Controller is actively commanding or accessing the device (value=2) or not (value=3). Also, the value, "Unknown" (0), can be defined. This information is necessary when a LogicalDevice can be commanded by, or accessed through, multiple ProtocolControllers.None TRANSLATABLE= true

TargetControllerNumberstring
DescriptionstringThe number of the dependent's target protocol controller. As an example, in SCSI this is the Target ID.None TRANSLATABLE= true
