This section explains the details of modeling storage entities and their relationship to computer systems that utilize the services provided.
Storage entities and devices include tape drives, disk drives, virtual disks, network-attached storage (NAS), and a pool of storage subsystems.
Physical storage is modeled by using derived classes from the BMC_Media class, such as BMC_DiskDrive, BMC_TapeDrive, BMC_CDROMDrive, and BMC_FloppyDrive.
