FC Port to FC Port

This rule propagates events on a Fibre Channel Port to another connected Channel Port.

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`

Example of HBA crashing on a Storage Array:

The event propagates from the HBA to the Storage Array and the Logical Volumes on the Array because of the Storage Devices to Storage Array rule.

The impact analysis event on the Logical Volume then propagates to other dependent Logical Volumes through the Logical Volume to Logical Volume rule.

Hosts using those dependent Logical volumes see the event next because of the Host Devices to Host rule.

Depending on business needs, you define impact analysis rules to propagate events from these hosts to applications, business services, lines of business, and so on. This enables end-to-end mapping and impact analysis using UCMDB.
