| Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers |
| Name | Data Type | Value |
| SupportedAsynchronousActions | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | Enumeration indicating what operations will be executed as asynchronous jobs. If an operation is included in both this and SupportedSynchronousActions properties then the underlying implementation is indicating that it may or may not create a job. |

| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, .., 0x8000.. |
| Values | string | ThinlyProvisioned, ThicklyProvisioned, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific |
| SupportedDataMovement | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | Indicates the supported data movement choices that are available. |
| Experimental | boolean | true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_TierDomain.DataMovement |

| Values | string | System Creates StorageTiers, Client Can Create StorageTiers, System Creates TierDomains, Client Can Create TierDomains, Supports SubLUN, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific |
| SupportedManualMovementProvisioning | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | Indicates the supported data movement choices that are available. |
| Experimental | boolean | true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_TierDomain.DataMovement |
| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, .., 0x8000.. |
| Values | string | ThinlyProvisioned, ThicklyProvisioned, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific |
| SupportedStorageElements | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | Enumeration indicating the supported storage elements that can be moved between storage tiers. DeviceMaskingGroup: All members of DeviceMaskingGroup are moved to the storage tiers with the same performance characteristics. |
| ValueMap | string | 1, 2, 3, 4, .., 0x8000.. |
| Values | string | Other, StorageVolume, LogicalDisk, DeviceMaskingGroup, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific |
| SupportedStorageObjects | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | Enumeration indicating the supported storage objects that can be used to form a storage tier.ComponentsOfStoragePool: In calling the method CreateStorageTier, it is possible to supply one or StoragePools and request the storage tiers to be created based on the "ConcreteComponents" of the StoragePools, i.e. StorageExtents. ElementsOfStoragePool: Storage tier is comprised of elements, e.g. volumes, allocated from a StoragePool.
External StoragePool: represents a storage capacity that is external to the ComputerSystem.
Primordial StorageExtent: represent storage extents that are directly associated to a disk drive and have an extent discriminator of "SNIA:DiskDrive". |
| ValueMap | string | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, .., 0x8000.. |
| Values | string | Other, StorageVolume, LogicalDisk, StorageExtent, StoragePool, ComponentsOfStoragePool, ElementsOfStoragePool, External StoragePool, Primordial StorageExtent, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific |
| SupportedSynchronousActions | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | Enumeration indicating what operations will be executed synchronously -- without the creation of a job. If an operation is included in both this property and SupportedAsynchronousActions then the underlying implementation is indicating that it may or may not create a job. |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_TierServiceCapabilities.SupportedAsynchronousActions |
| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, .., 0x8000.. |

| SupportedTierFeatures | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | Enumeration indicating the supported features of the storage tiers.
Performance generally relates to the underlying technology, for example, Solid State versus Fibre Channel drives. QoS refers to the Quality of Service, for example, RAID protected versus unprotected. |
| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, .., 0x8000.. |
| Values | string | StorageTiers Based On Performance Only, StorageTiers Based On QoS Only, StorageTiers Based On Performance and QoS, StorageTiers Based On Other Characteristics, StorageTiers Can Overlap, StorageTiers Can Be Empty, StorageTiers In Multiple TierDomains, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific |
