Properties

The MSFT_SMSystemCapabilities class has these properties.

Identifier

Data type: String

Access type: Read-only

The ID of the logical instance of the object. This ID must be unique within the scope of the storage system.

iSCSITargetEndpointCreation

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Indicates if iSCSITargetEndpoints are dynamically created and deleted in a node or preexisting and statically defined.

The possible values are.

Unknown (0)

Preexisting and statically defined (1)

Dynamically created and deleted (2)

iSCSITargetEndpointCreationDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Describes the value in the iSCSITargetEndpointCreation property.

MaskingClientSelectableDeviceNumbers

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

Set to True if this storage system allows the client to specify the DeviceNumber parameter when calling the Controller Configuration Service AttachDevice method or ExposePaths method. Set to False if the implementation does not allow unit numbers to vary for a ProtocolController.

MaskingExposeStorageVolumesToHostsSupported
