cache

Properties of Fibre Chanel fabric cache.

Name Type Description

age

string

The age of the Fibre Channel fabric data cache retrieved. If the FC fabric data cache has not been fully updated for a newly discovered fabric, or a fabric that has been re-discovered after being purged, a value for this property will not be retrieved. The value is in ISO 8601 duration format.

is_current

boolean

A boolean that indicates if the retrieved data is current relative to the cache.maximum_age value of the request. A value of true indicates that the data is no older than the requested maximum age. A value of false indicates that the data is older than the requested maximum age; if more current data is required, the caller should wait for some time for the cache update to complete and query the data again.

update_time

string

The date and time at which the Fibre Channel fabric data cache retrieved was last updated. If the FC fabric data cache has not been fully updated for a newly discovered fabric, or a fabric that has been re-discovered after being purged, a value for this property will not be retrieved.
