FC Target Ports Profile (Common Profiles, Clause 8)
CIM_FCPort
The front-end FC Ports must be associated to "SCSIProtocolEndpoints" through "CIM_DeviceSAPImplementation" associations and to "ComputerSystems" through "CIM_HostedAccessPoint" associations. (Discovery uses the "CIM_NetworkPort" superclass for associator and reference calls.)

| LinkTechnology | Required. |
| MaxSpeed | Optional. |
| Name | Required. |
| NetworkAddresses | Required. |
| OperationalStatus | Required. |
| PermanentAddress | Required. Must match the SCSIProtocolEndpoint.Name property. |
| PortNumber | Required. |

CIM_SCSIProtocolEndpoint
SCSIProtocolEndpoints are associated to physical ports through CIM_DeviceSAPImplementation associations and to the ComputerSystem through CIM_HostedAccessPoint associations.
| Property | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | Required. The Name property value must be an NAA formatted hex string that matches the target port exactly. The NameFormat property is ignored. |
| ConnectionType | Required. Must be set to the following value: FC (2) |
| Role | Required. Must be set to one of the following values:
There is no support for back-end (initiator) ports. |
| TargetRelativePortNumber | Optional. |
There must be an exact match between the following. If these do not match, masking will fail. See additional restrictions when Group Masking is implemented.
- CIM_FCPort.PermanentAddress
- CIM_SCSIProtocolEndpoint.Name
- The WWPN presented on the FC interface
- The WWPN exposed by the HBA API for the attached port
The FC Node Name may be provided through the OtherIdentifyingInfo and IndentifyingDescriptions properties of the CIM_ComputerSystem class. If this value is available, it will be displayed by the Get-TargetPort cmdlet for informational purposes only.
