| CompositionCharacteristics | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | Composition characteristics supported by this system.
Description of values:
- CompositionIsDestructive - any data that exists on the elements will be destroyed when the composite is created
- CanCompositeComposites - it is possible to use an existing composite as an element to a new composite
- CanModifyComposite - An existing composite can be modified by adding or removing one or more elements
- CompositeElementsMustBeSameSize - all elements used to create/modify a composite must be the same size
- CompositeElementsMustBeSameRAID/QoS - all elements used to create/modify a composite must have the same RAID or QoS level
- DecompositionDeletesElements - When the composite is dissolved the component elments (e.g. StorageVolumes) are deleted
- CanAddToComposite - Elements can be added to a composite in any position
- CanAppendToComposite - Elements can only be added at the end of a composite
- CanRemoveFromComposite - Elements can be removed from a composite
- CompositeAdditionIsDestructive - Adding elements to a composite results in loss of data
- CompositeRemovalIsDestructive - Removing elements from a composite results in loss of data
- CompositeAdditionCanPreserveData- Adding elements to a composite can preserve data
- CompositionCanPreserveData - Any data that exists on the elements can be preserved when the composite is created. |
