Inventory service data
Information about the Storage Fabrics managed by the HMC can be optionally included in the inventory data provided by the Inventory Service.
Inventory entries for storage fabric objects are included in the response to the Inventory Service's Get Inventory operation when the request specifies (explicitly by class, implicitly through a containing category, or by default) that objects of class "storage-fabric" are to be included. Information for a particular storage fabric is included only if the API user has access permission to that object as described in the Get Storage Fabric Properties operation.
For each storage fabric to be included, the inventory response includes an array entry for the Storage Fabric object. This entry is a JSON object with the same contents as is specified in the Response body contents section of Get Storage Fabric Properties. That is, the data provided is the same as would be provided if a Get Storage Fabric Properties operation were requested targeting this object.
