CIM_StorageConfigurationCapabilities class

  • Article

A subclass of Capabilities that defines the Capabilities of a StorageConfigurationService. An instance of StorageConfigurationCapabilities is associated with a StorageConfigurationService using ElementCapabilities. The properties in this class specify the envelope of capabilites for storage configuration in the context of the Service or Pool with which the instance is associated. These properties correspond to the properties of the same base names in StorageSetting and StorageSettingWithHints when either is used as a goal parameter to the StorageConfigurationService methods (CreateOrModifyStoragePool, CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool, or CreateOrModifyElementFromElements).

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Properties

The CIM_StorageConfigurationCapabilities class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

ClientSettableElementUsage

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Experimental, ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_StorageExtent.Usage")

Indicates the intended usage or any restrictions that may have been imposed on the usage of Client Settable Elements. For example, an element may be reserved for use by the block server. In that case the Usage of the element is marked as "Reserved for the ComputerSystem". In the case of "Other", see OtherUsageDescription for more information.

ClientSettablePoolUsage

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Experimental, ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_StoragePool.OtherUsageDescription")

Indicates the intended usage or any restrictions that may have been imposed on the usage a client settable storage pool. For example, a storage pool may be reserved for use by the block server. In that case the Usage of the storage pool is marked as "Reserved for the ComputerSystem". In the case of "Other", see OtherUsageDescription for more information.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Contains a textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

ElementName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Required

The user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as a index property for a search of query. (Note: Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.)

This property is inherited from CIM_Capabilities.

InitialReplicationState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_StorageConfigurationService.AttachReplica", "CIM_StorageConfigurationService.CreateReplica")

InitialReplicationState specifies which initial ReplicationState is supported by a particular provider. Values are:

Initialized: The replication relationship is known and unsynchronized, but time required to synchronize may be long.

Prepared: The replication relationship is known and unsynchronized and the time required to synchronize will be short.

Synchronized: The replicas are synchronized.

InstanceID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key

Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.

This property is inherited from CIM_Capabilities.

SupportedAsynchronousActions

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_StorageConfigurationCapabilities.SupportedSynchronousActions")

The following values have been deprecated and replaced by values in StorageReplicationCapabilities. SupportedAsynchronousActions:

Replica Creation(8) to Local Replica Creation(2) and Remote Replica Creation(3)

Replica Modification(9) to Local Replica Modification(4), Remote Replica Modification(5) and
