Parameters

ElementName [in, optional]

End-user relevant name for the storage volume. If NULL, then a system supplied name is used.

Size [in, out, optional]

As an input parameter, the desired size. As an output parameter, the size achieved.

UseMaximumSize [in, optional]

If True, requests the provider to create a storage volume with the maximum possible size.

PoolSettingObjectId [in, optional]

The ObjectId of a pool setting the defines the service level that the storage volume is expected to provide. If NULL the storage service will try to locate a default setting.
