Class CIM_Zone
extends CIM_ConnectivityCollection

A zone is a group of Ports, Endpoints, Nodes, Zones, and/or NamedAddressCollections that are managed collectively by the same domain. The managing domain is indicated by the HostedCollection association. For Fibre Channel, a zone indicates a set of members that are participating together in the fabric.

Activeboolean
DescriptionstringIndicates that this Zone is currently active (i.e. under enforcement of a fabric). This property can be used to distinguish between a Zone that is currently active and a snapshot of a Zone (with the same InstanceName) that is for "offline" editing.None TRANSLATABLE= true
RequiredbooleantrueNone OVERRIDABLE= false
Captionstring
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3264None None
ConnectivityStatusuint16
DescriptionstringAn enumeration describing the current or potential connectivity between endpoints in this collection. Connectivity may be provided or not, or may be in a degraded/partitioned state if one or more endpoints or links have failed. The latter would prevent full connectivity between all elements in the Collection, but would permit connectivity between subsets.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ValueMapstring0, 2, 3, 4None None
ValuesstringUnknown, Connectivity/Up, No Connectivity/Down, PartitionedNone TRANSLATABLE= true
Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringA user-friendly name for the Zone that is unique within the AdminDomain.None TRANSLATABLE= true

RequiredbooleantrueNone OVERRIDABLE= false
WritebooleantrueNone None
InstanceIDstring
DescriptionstringWithin the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.None TRANSLATABLE= true
