Class fabric:VCon (CONCRETE)

Class ID:789
Encrypted: false - Exportable: true - Persistent: true
Privileges: [See Containers Hierarchies]
SNMP OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.47.110

Represents a virtual network interface connection (vCon), which is a virtual representation of a physical adapter.

When a vNIC/vHBA placement policy is assigned to a service profile, and the service profile is associated with a server, the vCons in the vNIC/vHBA placement policy are assigned to the physical adapters.
vNICs or vHBAs can be assigned to a vCon. Cisco UCS Manager uses the vCon assignment to determine how to assign the vNICs and vHBAs to the physical adapter during service profile association.

childAction  (mo:TopProps:childAction)
          
reference:Object dn  (mo:TopProps:dn)
           The Distinguished Name (dn) unambiguously identifies an object in the system.
The dn provides a fully qualified path from the top of the object tree, all the way to the object. It is built as a sequence of relative names separated by the "/" character.
For example:
< ... dn = "sys/chassis-5/blade-2/adaptor-1" />
reference:RN rn  (mo:TopProps:rn)
           The Relative Name (rn) uniquely identifies an object within a given context.
Note that a dn is comprised of a sequence of relative names. For example, the context "sys/chassis-1/blade-1/adaptor-1/host-eth-2" can be thought of as the following expression:
dn = <root object>/{rn}/{rn}/{rn}/{rn}/{rn}.
The rn can then be used to identify the object (for instance, "adaptor-1") within the context:
<... rn ="../" />
mo:InstSaclType
          scalar:Bitmask8
sacl  (mo:TopProps:sacl)
           The system acl property for each Managed Object. br/> This property is a 8 bit mask and supports the following values :-
a: del
b: mod
c: addchild
d: cascade

By default all Managed Objects have the following permissions
a: del
b: mod
c: addchild
This property is persisted in the db. If this property has a value none
it means, the user has read only permissions on this object.
mo:ModificationStatus
          scalar:Bitmask32
status  (mo:TopProps:status)
           This property controls the life cycle of a managed object

Constants
removed 16u In a setter method: specifies that an object should be removed.
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been removed.
created 2u In a setter method: specifies that an object should be created. An error is returned if the object already exists.
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been created.
modified 4u In a setter method: specifies that an object should be modified
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been modified.
deleted 8u In a setter method: specifies that an object should be deleted.
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been deleted.
DEFAULT 0 This type controls the life cycle of objects passed in the XML API.

When used in a setter method (such as configConfMo), the ModificationStatus specifies whether an object should be created, modified, deleted or removed.
In the return value of a setter method, the ModificationStatus indicates the actual operation that was performed. For example, the ModificationStatus is set to "created" if the object was created. The ModificationStatus is not set if the object was neither created, modified, deleted or removed.

When invoking a setter method, the ModificationStatus is optional:
If a setter method such as configConfMo is invoked and the ModificationStatus is not set, the system automatically determines if the object should be created or modified.
