Class CIM_VirtualTapeSettingData
extends CIM_SettingData

CIM_VirtualTapeSettingData describes the attribute values set when creating a Virtual Tape by a VirtualTapeConfigurationService. These settings can be associated via the ElementSettingData association with the created Virtual Tape. If the setting is associated via SettingAssociatedToCapabilities to a VirtualTapeCapabilities, it is one of the canned settings supported by this capabilities instance. A setting can also be an embedded instance parameter to a method (for instance, when used as a Goal parameter). A NULL value for a property in a canned setting indicates support for a vendor-specific default. A NULL value for a property when the setting is used as a Goal parameter to a method indicates that the client does not care what value that property will have on creation and will accept any vendor-supplied default. When used with a VirtualTape, a NULL value for a property must be interpreted as "Unknown". This class also supports persistence and recoverability of a Virtual Tape Library and its contained elements as defined in CIM for the use of DatabaseStorageArea.
