DescriptionstringEnumeration 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. Note: the following methods are not supported asynchronously, hence the gap between 11 and 19: - CreateGroup - DeleteGroup - AddMembers - RemoveMembers - AddReplicationEntity - AddServiceAccessPoint - AddSharedSecret.

Featuresuint16[]
DescriptionstringAn array of Supported Features. Replication Groups: Element in a group are supported in a replication operation. Multi-hop element replication: Target of one copy operation can at the same time be the source of another copy operation. Multi-hop elements must have same SyncType: The SyncType of each hop must be the same as previous hop, e.g., mirror, snapshot, clone. Multi-hop requires advance notice: The service needs to know when multi-hoping is intended to allow the service to do the appropriate set up. The parameter ReplicationSettingData specified number of hops intended. Requires full discovery of target ComputerSystem: Target element's containing computer system must be known to the provider. Service suspends source I/O when necessary: Applies to a group of elements when a consistent point-in-time is created. Targets allocated from Any storage pool: No restriction as to what storage pool to use to allocate targets elements, as long as the pool is not reserved for special activities. Targets allocated from Shared storage pool: Targets are allocated from a shared pool for all targets of the same type. Targets allocated from Exclusive storage pool: Targets are allocated from a pool that is exclusive. Targets allocated from Multiple storage pools: Targets are allocated from multiple pools. Targets require reserved elements: Targets must have a specific Usage value. Target is associated to SynchronizationAspect: Target is associated via SettingsDefineState association to an instance of SynchronizationAspect. Source is associated to SynchronizationAspect: Source is associated via SettingsDefineState association to an instance of SynchronizationAspect. Error recovery from Broken state Automatic: Once the connection is repaired, the copy operation continues automatically. Target must remain associated to source: A dependent target element must remain associated to source element at all times. Remote resource requires remote CIMOM: Client is required to interact with two providers: the provider controlling the source element and the provider controlling the target element. Synchronized clone target detaches automatically: The clone target element detaches automatically when the target element becomes synchronized; otherwise, the client needs to explicitly request a detach operation. Reverse Roles operation requires Read Only source: The Reverse Roles operation requires the source element to be in the Read Only mode. Reverse Roles operation requires subsequent resync: After the Reverse Roles operation completed, it is required to resync the synchronization relationship between the source and the target elements. Restore operation requires subsequent fracture: The copy operation has completed; however, the synchronization relationship must be fractured. Resync operation requires subsequent activate: For the copy operation to continue, the synchronization relationship must be activated. Copy operation requires offline source: Instrumentation requires the source element to be offline (not-ready) to ensure data does not change before starting the copy operation. Adjustable CopyPriority: Priority of copy operation versus the host I/O can be adjusted. Source requires reserved element: Source element must have a Usage value that indicates the element may be a "Replica Source". Supports undiscovered resources: The service can perform copy operations to and from elements, e.g. a "ReplicationEntity", on a ComputerSystem not known to the service. Target element can be added to collections: After the replication relationship is established, the target element can be added to the supplied collections -- such as a DeviceMaskingGroup.Reverse Roles operation requires Synchronized state: For the Reverse Roles operation, CopyState must be in Synchronized state. Reverse Roles operation requires Fractured state: For the Reverse Roles operation, CopyState must be in Fractured state.

Reverse Roles operation requires Suspended state: For the Reverse Roles operation, CopyState must be in Suspended state. Provider can manage remote source: Remote source can be managed by the Provider. Provider can manage remote target: Remote target can be managed by the Provider. Supports temporary ReplicationEntity: Implementation supports temporary instances of ReplicationEntity. Supports persistent ReplicationEntity: Implementation supports persistent instances of ReplicationEntity. ReplicationEntity supports embedded instance: ReplicationEntity can include an embedded instance. TargetElement shall not be supplied: Replication method does not accept TargetElement or TargetElements. Implementation creates the required target element. TargetPool shall not be supplied: Implementation locates the appropriate resource pool or resource pools. TargetGoal shall not be supplied: Implementation determines the appropriate setting for the target element. Provider can create remote elements: If not supplied the Provider creates remote elements. Creating remote elements requires TargetPool: For the Provider to create remote elements, TargetPool or TargetPools must be supplied. Local targets allocated from sources resource pool: Implementation allocates targets from source's pool. Supports SynchronizationAspect: Implementation supports managing instances of SynchronizationAspect. Accepts foreign object paths: Foreign object paths are well formed. However, they are not discovered by the provider. Failover operation requires subsequent split: Planned failover operation requires copy relationship to be split or fractured. Restore operation requires subsequent resume: After restore operation completes, copy operation needs to be resumed. GetPeerSystems can return access points: Method GetPeerSystemscan return access points such as ProtocolEndpoints which can be used to create RemoteReplicationCollections. Client can supply target ElementName: Implementation accepts ElementName or ElementNames for target elements. Reverse Roles operation does not change CopyState: After Reverse Roles operation completes, CopyState does not change. Failover operation requires subsequent failback: The failover operation requires a subsequent failback before additional operations may be applied to replication relationship, except for the detach operation. The detach operation may be issued from the failedover state. Planned Failover operation requires fractured state: The copy relationship must be in the CopyState fractured before a planned failover operation -- in planned failover, source and target elements are reachable. Target element requires resource pool reserved for replication: Target elements can only be created in a resource pool that is reserved for replication service -- per the Usage value of the resource pool. Uses Reverse Roles for Failover and Failback: Implementation uses the Reverse Roles operation for Failover and Failback.Create Replication requests should be sent to target service: Requests such as CreateElementReplica, CreateListReplica, etc. should be sent to service controlling the target elements. All Modify operations should be sent to target service: Requests such as ModifyReplicaSynchronization should be sent to service controlling the target elements. Supports multiple target elements per SynchronizationAspect: More than one target element can be associated to an instance of SynchronizationAspect.

NameData TypeValue
ElementNameMaskstring
DescriptionstringThis 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.
