Versionstring2.8.0 CIM_StorageCapabilities
DescriptionstringA subclass of Capabilities that defines the Capabilities of a StorageService or StoragePool. For example, an instance of StorageCapabilities could be associated with either a StorageConfigurationService or StoragePool by using ElementCapabilities. CIM_StorageCapabilities
DescriptionstringCapabilities is an abstract class whose subclasses describe abilities and/or potential for use. For example, one may describe the maximum number of VLANs that can be supported on a system using a subclass of Capabilities. Capabilities are tied to the elements which they describe using the ElementCapabilities association. Note that the cardinality of the ManagedElement reference is Min(1), Max(1). This cardinality mandates the instantiation of the ElementCapabilities association for the referenced instance of Capabilities. ElementCapabilities describes the existence requirements and context for the referenced instance of ManagedElement. Specifically, the ManagedElement MUST exist and provides the context for the Capabilities. Note that Capabilities do not indicate what IS configured or operational, but what CAN or CANNOT exist, be defined or be used. Note that it is possible to describe both supported and excluded abilities and functions (both capabilities and limitations) using this class. CIM_Capabilities
DescriptionstringManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema. CIM_ManagedElement

DescriptionstringDeltaReservatioMax is a number between 1 (1%) and a 100 (100%) that specifies the maximum amount of space reserved in a replica for caching changes. For a complete copy this would be 100%, but it can be lower in some implementations. This parameter sets the upper limit, while DeltaReservationMin sets the lower limit. CIM_StorageCapabilities

Property InstanceID Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_Capabilities
DescriptionstringWithin the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following ’ preferred ’ algorithm: < OrgID > : < LocalID > Where < OrgID > and < LocalID > are separated by a colon ’ : ’ , and where < OrgID > MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the < Schema Name > _ < Class Name > structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness < OrgID > MUST NOT contain a colon ( ’ : ’ ). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between < OrgID > and < LocalID > . < LocalID > is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above ’ preferred ’ algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance ’ s NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the ’ preferred ’ algorithm MUST be used with the < OrgID > set to ’ CIM ’ . CIM_Capabilities

DescriptionstringThe user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as a index property for a search of query. (Note: Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.) CIM_Capabilities

Property Caption Qualifiers

MaxLenuint3264 CIM_ManagedElement

Property Description Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object. CIM_ManagedElement

Property ElementName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringA user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name IN ADDITION TO its key properties/identity data, and description information. Note that ManagedSystemElement ’ s Name property is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. CIM_ManagedElement

Method CreateSetting Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringMethod to create and populate a StorageSetting instance from a StorageCapability instance. This removes the need to populate default settings and other settings in the context of each StorageCapabilities (which could be numerous). If the underlying instrumentation supports the StorageSettingWithHints subclass, then an instance of that class will be created instead. CIM_StorageCapabilities

DescriptionstringIf ’ Default ’ is passed for the CreateDefault parameter, the Max, Goal, and Min setting attributes are set to the Default values of the parent StorageCapabilities when the instance is created. If set to ’ Goal ’ the new StorageSetting attributes are set to the related attributes of the parent StorageCapabilities, e.g. Min to Min, Goal to Default, and Max to Max. This method maybe deprecated in lieu of intrinsics once limitations in the CIM Operations are addressed. CIM_StorageCapabilities
