Creates a Storage Group (SPC).

Syntax

Uint32 CreateStorageGroup(
  [in]            String                  Name,
  [in]            String                  LUNames[],
  [in]            String                  DeviceNumbers[],
  [in]            Uint16                  DeviceAccesses[],
  [in]            String                  InitiatorID,
  [in]            String                  TargetPortIDs[],
  [in]            Uint16                  HostType = Microsoft Windows,
  [out]           MSFT_SMStorageGroup REF StorageGroup,
  [out]           MSFT_SMJob          REF Job,
  [out, optional] MSFT_SMExtendedStatus   ExtendedStatus,
  [in, optional]  String                  username,
  [in, optional]  String                  password
);

Parameters

Name [in]

Name to be assigned to the StorageGroup.

LUNames [in]

An array of IDs of existing logical unit instances.

Note

IDs must match the Name property of LogicalDevice instances that represent SCSI logical units.

DeviceNumbers [in]

Logical unit numbers to assign to the corresponding item in the LUNames parameter. If this parameter is NULL, all LU numbers are assigned by the hardware or instrumentation.

DeviceAccesses [in]

The permissions to assign to the corresponding logical unit in the LUNames parameter. Setting this to 'No Access' assigns the DeviceNumber for the associated initiators, but does not grant read or write access. If the LUNames parameter is not NULL then this parameter is required.

The possible values are.

Unknown (0)

Read Write (2)

Read-Only (3)

No Access (4)

Windows Server 2012: This parameter is, incorrectly, named HostMode.

Windows Server 2012: The default for this parameter is 15, Microsoft Windows.
