Table 1. Attributes of HostBusAdapter

Attributes

Description

Values

Adapter

The display name of the adapter.

String

Bus

The host bus number.

Integer

HbaState

Indicates the state of the host bus adapter. The state of a host bus adapter can be:

  • ONLINE

  • OFFLINE

  • FAULT

  • UNKNOWN

  • UNBOUND

String

ESXHost

The display name of the host on which the HBA is installed.

String

DiscoveredViaSDK

Indicates if the class instance is discovered by using Java API from vSphere SDK.

Boolean:TRUE, FALSE

Driver

Name of the driver.

String

IsManaged

Determines if an ICIM_ManagedSystemElement must be monitored by the management system. An unmanaged object will never have associated instrumentation. This attribute is read-only.

Boolean:TRUE, FALSE

Key

The linkable identifier.

String

Location

Specifies the position and address of a physical element.

String

Model

The model of the host bus adapter.

String

PciID

The Peripheral Connect Interface (PCI) ID of the device representing the adapter.

String

SerialNumber

Indicates the version of the ICIM_PhysicalElement.

String

Tag

An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the physical element and serves as the element's key. The Tag property can contain information, such as an asset tag or serial number. The key for ICIM_PhysicalElement is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the hardware or entity, regardless of physical placement in or on cabinets, adapters, and so on. For example, a hot-swappable or removable component may be taken from its containing (scoping) package and be temporarily unused. The object still continues to exist and may even be inserted into a different scoping container. Therefore, the key for physical element is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy.

String

Type

Indicates the type of HBA.
