Class CIM_FibrePortOnFCAdapter
extends CIM_PortOnDevice

FibrePortOnFCAdapter associates a FibrePort with a FibreChannelAdapter. Cardinalities are defined as Max(1) to indicate the intent and usage of the model - that an Adapter is synonymous with its Port (connection point). Where you have a multi-Port Adapter and more than one Port may be active at a time, individual Adapters with individual operating data and characteristics really exist. If you have multiple connection points, but they exist only to provide multiple physical form factors (only one connection may be active at a time), then one FibreChannelAdapter and one FibrePort (the active one) exist. On the hardware side, the realizations of these entities in PhysicalElements may be as a CIM_Card (for example) with multiple CIM_PhysicalConnectors.
