Listing the existing device classes

Edit online

Before you edit AOC definitions and reinstantiate the topology, list the device classes that are currently in use.

About this task

You list existing device classes by querying the ncp_model databases. The query returns the names of the classes to which devices in the current topology have been instantiated. Substitute your domain name and username where NCOMS and admin are specified.

Procedure

  1. Log into the OQL Service Provider using the following command:

    ncp_oql -domain NCOMS -username admin -service ncim

    You can also issue this query using the Management Database Access page.
  2. Specify the relevant password when prompted.
  3. Type the following query:

    select * from entityClass;

    go

    The following table shows an example of the output of this query:
