Class CIM_ProtocolControllerForDevice
extends CIM_Dependency

This association indicates a subclass of LogicalDevice (for example a Storage Volume) is connected through a specific ProtocolController. In many situations (for example storage LUN masking), there may be many of these associations used to relate to different objects. Therefore subclasses have been defined to optimize enumeration of the associations.

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
