Versionstring2.6.0CIM_LogicalDiskBasedOnPartition
UMLPackagePathstringCIM::Device::StorageExtentsCIM_LogicalDiskBasedOnPartition
DescriptionstringLogicalDisks can be BasedOn a DiskPartition. For example, a personal computer's C: drive may be located on a Partition on local PhysicalMedia. In this association of LogicalDisks to Partitions, note that the cardinality of the Antecedent, Disk Partition, is Max (1). This dictates that a LogicalDisk can not span more than one Partition. However, there are cases where this is true. When it occurs, the LogicalDisk is really based on some kind of RAID configuration (for example, a mirror or stripe set). In these scenarios, the LogicalDisk is more correctly BasedOn a StorageVolume. To prevent incorrectly using the LogicalDiskBasedOnPartition association, the Max (1) qualifier was put on the Antecedent reference to the DiskPartition.CIM_LogicalDiskBasedOnPartition
AssociationbooleantrueCIM_LogicalDiskBasedOnPartition
UMLPackagePathstringCIM::Device::StorageExtentsCIM_LogicalDiskBasedOnExtent
DescriptionstringLogicalDisks can be BasedOn a single StorageVolume, Memory (in the case of a RAM Disk), a DiskPartition or other StorageExtent. These relationships are made explicit in this association. Subclasses of the association, LogicalDiskBasedOn Partition and LogicalDiskBasedOnVolume, detail the 'typical' semantics.CIM_LogicalDiskBasedOnExtent
AssociationbooleantrueCIM_LogicalDiskBasedOnExtent
UMLPackagePathstringCIM::Core::StorageExtentCIM_BasedOn
DescriptionstringBasedOn is an association describing how StorageExtents can be assembled from lower level Extents. For example, ProtectedSpaceExtents are parts of PhysicalExtents, while VolumeSets are assembled from one or more Physical or ProtectedSpaceExtents. As another example, CacheMemory can be defined independently and realized in a PhysicalElement or can be 'based on' Volatile or NonVolatileStorageExtents.CIM_BasedOn

UMLPackagePathstringCIM::Core::CoreElementsCIM_Dependency
DescriptionstringCIM_Dependency is a generic association used to establish dependency relationships between ManagedElements.CIM_Dependency

Property StartingAddress Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringStartingAddress indicates where in lower level storage, the higher level Extent begins.CIM_BasedOn

Property EndingAddress Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringEndingAddress indicates where in lower level storage, the higher level Extent ends. This property is useful when mapping non-contiguous Extents into a higher level grouping.CIM_BasedOn

Property OrderIndex Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringIf there is an order to the BasedOn associations that describe how a higher level StorageExtent is assembled, the OrderIndex property indicates this. When an order exists, the instances of BasedOn with the same Dependent value (i.e., the same higher level Extent) should place unique values in the OrderIndex property. The lowest value implies the first member of the collection of lower level Extents, and increasing values imply successive members of the collection. If there is no ordered relationship, a value of zero should be specified. An example of the use of this property is to define a RAID-0 striped array of 3 disks. The resultant RAID array is a StorageExtent that is dependent on (BasedOn) the StorageExtents that describe each of the 3 disks. The OrderIndex of each BasedOn association from the disk Extents to the RAID array could be specified as 1, 2 and 3 to indicate the order in which the disk Extents are used to access the RAID data.CIM_BasedOn
