Class IBMTSDS_StorageConfigurationCapabilities


CIM_ManagedElement
\_CIM_Capabilities
  \_CIM_StorageConfigurationCapabilities


Description

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 capabilities 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).

Properties

IdTypeRangeDescription
Key
InstanceID string
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. The InstanceID will be of the form IBMTSDS:<StorageSystem.Name>.
Read Only
ElementName string
The user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as an index property for a search of query. The ElementName will be of the form'StorageConfigurationCapabilities for<StorageSystem.Name>'.
InitialReplicationState uint16
Initialized2
Prepared3
Synchronized4
DMTF Reserved..
Vendor Specific0x8000..0xFFFF
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.
SupportedAsynchronousActions uint16
Storage Pool Creation2
Storage Pool Deletion3
Storage Pool Modification4
Storage Element Creation5
Storage Element Return6
Storage Element Modification7
Replica Creation8
Replica Modification9
Replica Attachment10
Enumeration indicating what operations will be executed as asynchronous jobs. If an operation is included in both this and SupportedSynchronousActions then the underlying implementation is indicating that it may or may not create a job. The CIM Agent for the DS Open API does not support any asynchronous actions.
SupportedCopyTypes uint16
Async2
Sync3
UnSyncAssoc4
UnSyncUnAssoc5
DMTF Reserved..
Vendor Specific0x8000..0xFFFF
SupportedCopyTypes describes the replication capabilities supported by the associated StorageConfigurationServices. Values are:Async: asynchronous copies may be created and maintained.Sync: synchronous copies may be created and maintained.UnSyncAssoc: unsynchronized copies may be created and maintained.UnSyncUnAssoc: a'straight copy'may be created.
SupportedIBMExtensionActions uint16
ArraySitePool Creation2
ArraySitePool Deletion3
ArraySitePool Modification4
ArrayPool Creation5
ArrayPool Deletion6
ArrayPool Modification7
RankPool Creation8
RankPool Deletion9
RankPool Modification10
ExtentPool Creation11
ExtentPool Deletion12
ExtentPool Modification13
StorageVolume Creation14
StorageVolume Deletion15
StorageVolume Modification16
StorageVolume Expansion17
StorageVolume Shrinking18
Enumeration indicating what IBM Extension operations are supported for a particular StorageSystem. The DS CIM Agent, in fact, does support pool, volume, and replica creation and deletion. However due to deficiencies in the SMI-S recipes, we cannot certify our creation and deletion methods, so we cannot advertise these capabilities in SupportedSynchronousActions, so we advertise them in a vendor extension property here. DS supports ArrayPool Creation/Deletion, RankPool Creation/Deletion, ExtentPool Creation/Deletion/Modification (ElementName only), and StorageVolume Creation/Deletion/Modification (ElementName only). ESS supports ExtentPool (VolumeSpace) Creation/Deletion and StorageVolume Creation. ESS does not support StorageVolume deletion. When an ExtentPool (VolumeSpace) is deleted on the ESS, the corresponding Volumes are automatically deleted.
SupportedStorageElementFeatures uint16
StorageExtent Creation2
StorageVolume Creation3
StorageExtent Modification4
StorageVolume Modification5
Single InPool6
Multiple InPools7
LogicalDisk Creation8
LogicalDisk Modification9
InExtents10
DMTF Reserved..
Vendor Specific0x8000..0xFFFF
Enumeration indicating features supported by the Storage Element methods. Volume creation from Single InPool is supported but we cannot advertise this capability. See above comment.
SupportedStorageElementTypes uint16
StorageVolume2
StorageExtent3
LogicalDisk4
DMTF Reserved..
Vendor Specific0x8000..0xFFFF
Enumeration indicating the type of storage elements that are supported by the associated StorageConfigurationService. Volume creation is supported, but not advertised, see above.
SupportedStoragePoolFeatures uint16
InExtents2
Single InPool3
Multiple InPools4
DMTF Reserved..
Vendor Specific0x8000..0xFFFF
Enumeration indicating features supported by the StoragePool methods. Single InPool and Multiple InPool are supported in different situations, but we cannot advertise these capabilities, see above comment.
SupportedSynchronousActions uint16
Storage Pool Creation2
Storage Pool Deletion3
Storage Pool Modification4
Storage Element Creation5
Storage Element Return6
Storage Element Modification7
Replica Creation8
Replica Modification9
Replica Attachment10
Enumeration indicating what operations will be executed without the creation of a job. If an operation is included in both this and SupportedAsynchronousActions then the underlying instrumentation is indicating that it may or may not create a job. The DS CIM Agent, in fact, does support pool, volume, and replica creation and deletion. However due todeficiencies in the CTP specification, we cannot certify our creation and deletion methods, so we cannot advertise these capabilities.
