Classes

CA SRM requires the definition of certain objects, called constructs, to perform storage management at your site. CA SRM classes are user-defined named constructs representing logical groups of storage management objects. You can use a class wherever you would use a CA SRM object or list of objects to provide the source of a service definition. Use classes to specify objects that conform to certain criteria.

For example, you can define the class W2000_SERVERS as the collection of all computers running under the Windows 2000 operating system, and the class ACCOUNTING as all the users who belong to the Accounting group.

CA SRM provides templates to help you define classes to meet your particular storage management needs.
