FC Port to FC Port

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

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.
