Class CIM_StorageRelocationService
extends CIM_Service

Typically, a storage pool is established on a set of storage extents, and a volume is allocated to a storage pool with different performance characteristics (e.g. with different RPM drives, or different drive classes). Storage Relocation (SR) can relocate storage elements to a different storage pool, or relocate a storage element to a specified set of storage extents.The relocation source and target could be either local or remote. Two functions are defined in this class: RelocateStorageElementsToStoragePool and RelocateStorageElementToElements.

RelocateStorageVolumesToStoragePool (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (RelocateStorageVolumesToStoragePool)

Name	Data Type	Value
Description	string	Start a job to relocate a specified set of volumes to a target StoragePool. Both relocation source and target could be either local or remote. If 0 is returned, the function completes successfully and no ConcreteJob instance was required. If 4096/0x1000 is returned, a ConcreteJob will be started to kick off the relocation. The Job's reference will be returned in the output parameter Job.
