QLGC_FCPort : CIM_FCPort
There are three distinct groups of FCPort objects:
Local Switch Ports
These are the ports that are attached to the switch that hosts the
CIMAgent. Ports that are not licensed or not installed or, in the case of
a blade about to be removed, powered off are not instantiated.
Remote Switch Ports
These are ports on other switches in the fabric. The CIMAgent is only
able to report information about these ports that is exposed by the
Fabric Configuration Service on the remote switch.
Switch ports are associated to an aggregating FCSwitch object.
NS Ports
These are device ports that have registered themselves with the name
server when they logged into the fabric. The device may be linked
with any switch in the fabric. NS ports will be associated with an
aggregating FCNode object.
