How SAN Volume Controller concepts map to CIM concepts

To administer the SAN Volume Controller through the CIM object manager (CIMOM), it is important to understand the relationship between SAN Volume Controller and Common Information Model (CIM) concepts.

Table 1 shows how these concepts relate to one another.
