Hello Community,
I am trying to understand the CMDB class "Initiator Group" (cmdb_ci_initiator_group).
I can see records being populated in this table through storage discovery, but I have not been able to find detailed ServiceNow documentation explaining the purpose of this CI class.
Could anyone point me to official documentation for this class?
If documentation is not available, could someone explain:
1. What an Initiator Group represents in ServiceNow CMDB?
2. In which storage technologies or discovery patterns it is typically used?
3. What relationships are usually expected between Initiator Groups, Storage Controllers, Volumes, Hosts, or other storage CIs?
I have attached a sanitized screenshot for reference.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
This class appears to be related to storage discovery, but I would like to better understand its functional purpose within CMDB.
Thank you.
