Database storage entity models
Database storage entities are an extension of file system CIs in a database environment and are modeled using the BMC_DataBaseStorage class.
The BMC_DataBaseStorage class stores information about a collection of logical storage areas that hold and retain data. You must model a database storage CI as an instance of the BMC_DataBaseStorage class (derived from the BMC_FileSystem class) and identify the instance by its Name and SystemName attributes. The BMC_DataBaseStorage class extends a file system CI and uses its inherited associations to represent the internal structure of the database.
Key attributes of BMC_DataBaseStorage class
The following table describes key attributes used to model database storage CIs.
Attribute | Usage |
|---|---|
Name | Identifies the storage area (tablespace) name. |
NameFormat | Specifies the heuristic method that is used to generate the Name value. Set it with the storage name used to generate the Name value. |
SystemName | Specifies the name of the parent BMC_Database CI. This attribute is automatically populated from the related CI when a weak relationship is created between the computer system and the operating system. |
