Resource classes defined by the host resource manager
In general, you will not need to manipulate resources of these classes directly. However, you may want to monitor host machines using resource dynamic attributes of the various resource classes.
Table 1 describes the resource classes defined by the host resource manager. Monitoring is described in Basic resource monitoring and Advanced resource monitoring.
| Resource class | Description | Resource classes available only on AIX® | Resource classes available only on AIX and Linux® |
|---|---|---|---|
| IBM®.ATMDevice | Each resource of this class represents an ATM adapter installed on the host. | X | |
| IBM.EthernetDevice | Each resource of this class represents an Ethernet adapter installed on the host. | X | |
| IBM.FDDIDevice | Each resource of this class represents a FDDI adapter installed on the host. | X | |
| IBM.Host | Each resource of this class represents a host machine that is running a single copy of an operating system. | X | |
| IBM.HostPublic | Each resource of this class represents the host's public key. | ||
| IBM.PagingDevice | Each resource of this class represents a device that is used by the operating system for paging. | X | |
| IBM.PhysicalVolume | Each resource of this class represents a physical volume. | X | |
| IBM.Processor | Each resource of this class represents a processor. | X | |
| IBM.Program | Each resource of this class represents a program that is running on the host. | X | |
| IBM.TokenRingDevice | Each resource of this class represents a token-ring device installed on the host. | X |
