Detailed Description

AIXLPARServerDescription (ie LPAR-012345:0) breaks out the uniqueness number and port index from the WWPN.

There may be difficulty here in determining whether a device is a switch or a NPIV bladecenter for servers; it's not obvious from the WWPNs

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AIXLPARServerDescription ( String wwn )

inline

create an instance with brief set to false.

This is a convenience function to support the older constructor model

Exceptions

java.lang.NullPointerException if the given wwn is null

Parameters

wwn	the WWN to evaluate and describe

Definition at line 12 of file AIXLPARServerDescription.java.

Referenced by AIXLPARServerDescription.getDesc().

AIXLPARServerDescription	(	boolean	brief,
		String	wwn
	)

inline

create an instance with the given WWN.

Values given to the constructor are simply copied to internal variables for later use

Exceptions

java.lang.NullPointerException if the given wwn is null

Parameters

brief	whether an abbreviated description is requested
wwn	the WWN to evaluate and describe

Definition at line 46 of file AIXLPARServerDescription.java.

Member Function Documentation

String descPort ( )

inline

describe the WWPN's unique port label/index

Returns: the unique name for the port WWPN

Definition at line 79 of file AIXLPARServerDescription.java.

References WWNDesc.wwn.

static WWNDesc getDesc	(	boolean	strong,
		boolean	brief,
		String	wwn
	)

inlinestatic

If this class matches or describes the given WWN, returns a new instance of this class loaded with the given WWN.

Returns: new instance of this class, or null if the given wwn does not match this class

Parameters

strong	used to restrict matching to strong-matches only. This is a weak-confidence description, so will return null for strong-only matching
brief	is used to ask for a shorter description: a more concise nickname or alias
wwn	the WWN (WWPN or WWNN, but typically WWPN) to match

static WWNDesc getDesc	(	boolean	strong,
		boolean	brief,
		String	wwn,
		int	role
	)

inlinestatic

If this class matches or describes the given WWN, returns a new instance of this class loaded with the given WWN.

Returns: new instance of this class, or null if the given wwn does not match this class

Parameters

strong	used to restrict matching to strong-matches only. This is a weak-confidence description, so will return null for strong-only matching
brief	is used to ask for a shorter description: a more concise nickname or alias
wwn	the WWN (WWPN or WWNN, but typically WWPN) to match
role	Role (Initiator/Switch/Target) to check for

Here is the call graph for this function:

String toString ( )

inline

return a description or alias for this WWN; if brief is set to true during the call to getDesc(), then a shorter description or alias will be returned

See also: getDesc(boolean,boolean,String)

Returns: generated alias or nickname for the WWN
