Class CIM_StorageConfigurationCapabilities
extends CIM_Capabilities

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 capabilites 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).

GetElementNameCapabilities (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (GetElementNameCapabilities)

Name	Data Type	Value
Description	string	This method indicates if ElementName can be specified as a part of invoking an appropriate method of StorageConfigurationService to create a new element. Additionally, the returned data includes the methods that can be used to modify the ElementName of existing storage elements. This method also returns the restrictions on the ElementName in the related "OUT" parameters.
Experimental	boolean	true

Method Parameters (GetElementNameCapabilities)

Name	Type	Qualifiers
Name	Type	Name	Data Type	Value
ElementNameMask	string
		Description	string	This string expresses the restrictions on ElementName. The mask is expressed as a regular expression. See DMTF standard ABNF with the Management Profile Specification Usage Guide, Annex C for the regular expression syntax permitted. Since the ElementNameMask can describe the maximum length of the ElementName, any length defined in the regexp is in addition to the restriction defined in MaxElementNameLen (causing the smaller value to be the maximum length). The ElementName value satisfies the restriction, if and only if it matches the regular expression. If NULL, it indicates no restrictions on the ElementName.
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities.ElementNameMask
		OUT	boolean	true
ElementType	uint16
		Description	string	A value indicating the element type. Additional information about the type (subtype) is supplied using the Goal and InPool parameters.
		IN	boolean	true
		ValueMap	string	2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, .., 0x8000..
		Values	string	StorageVolume, StorageExtent, LogicalDisk, ThinlyProvisionedStorageVolume, ThinlyProvisionedLogicalDisk, StoragePool, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific
MaxElementNameLen	uint16
		Description	string	Maximum supported ElementName length.
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities.MaxElementNameLen
		OUT	boolean	true
SupportedFeatures	uint16[]
		Description	string	Enumeration indicating what methods can accept the element name for creation or modification of a storage element. CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool is an example of an InvokeMethod. ModifyInstance and SetProperty are examples of intrinsic methods. An empty array indicates ElementNaming for ElementType is not supported, in which case the other OUT parameters are null.
		OUT	boolean	true
		ValueMap	string	2, 3, 4, .., 32768..65535
		Values	string	ElementName can be supplied during creation, ElementName can be modified with InvokeMethod, ElementName can be modified with intrinsic method, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific
Goal	REF CIM_ManagedElement
		Description	string	Properties of the Goal indicate variations of the ElementType. For example, ElementType may indicate StoragePool, and Goal may indicate thinly provisioned StoragePool.
		IN	boolean	true
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_StorageSetting.ThinProvisionedPoolType, CIM_StorageSetting.StorageExtentInitialUsage, CIM_StorageSetting.StoragePoolInitialUsage
InPool	REF CIM_StoragePool
		Description	string	The Pool from which the element in planned to be created from.
		IN	boolean	true
