CreateGroup (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (CreateGroup)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringThis method creates a masking group.
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .., 32768..65535
ValuesstringSuccess, Not Supported, Unspecified Error, Timeout, Failed, Invalid Parameter, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific

Method Parameters (CreateGroup)

NameTypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
ConsistentLogicalUnitNumberboolean
DescriptionstringA volume may be visible to the same initiator through multiple paths. Depending on which path the volume is visible to an initiator, the volume may have a different logical unit number. To ensure a volume has the same logical unit number to a given initiator regardless of the path, the property InitiatorMaskingGroup.ConsistentLogicalUnitNumber shall be set to true. The value of this parameter, if not NULL, is used to set the property InitiatorMaskingGroup.ConsistentLogicalUnitNumber when the initiator masking group is created. Use the intrinsic method ModifyInstance to change the value of the property InitiatorMaskingGroup.ConsistentLogicalUnitNumber after the masking group is created.
DeleteOnEmptyboolean
DescriptionstringIf true and empty groups are allowed, the group will be deleted when the last element is removed from the group. If empty groups are not allowed, the group will be deleted automatically when the group becomes empty. If this parameter is not NULL, its value will be used to set the group's DeleteOnEmpty property. Use the intrinsic method ModifyInstance to change this property after the group is created.
DeleteWhenBecomesUnassociatedboolean
DescriptionstringIf true, the group will be deleted when the group is no longer associated with a masking view. This can happen when the masking view is deleted or the group is removed from the masking view. If this parameter is not NULL, its value will be used to set the group's DeleteWhenBecomesUnassociated property. Use the intrinsic method ModifyInstance to change this property after the group is created.
GroupNamestring
DescriptionstringIf nameable, an end user relevant name for the group being created. If NULL or not nameable, then system assigns a name.
Typeuint16
DescriptionstringThe type of masking group to create.
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2, 3, 4
ValuesstringUnknown, Other, InitiatorMaskingGroup, TargetMaskingGroup, DeviceMaskingGroup
MembersCIM_ManagedElement[]
DescriptionstringList of elements to add to the masking group. For device masking groups the order is maintained. If NULL, the group will be empty -- if empty groups are supported.
Job REF CIM_ConcreteJob

MaskingGroup REF CIM_MaskingGroup
DescriptionstringReference to the created group.

DeleteGroup (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (DeleteGroup)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringDelete a masking group. Deleting a masking group does not delete its constituents.

ValuesstringSuccess, Not Supported, Unspecified Error, Timeout, Failed, Invalid Parameter, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific

Method Parameters (DeleteGroup)

NameTypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
Forceboolean
DescriptionstringAttempt to delete the masking group even though it is associated to a masking view, or the group is not empty. The intent of the Force parameter is to reduce the chance of accidental deletion of a masking group.
Job REF CIM_ConcreteJob
DescriptionstringReference to the job (may be NULL if job is completed).
INbooleanfalse
OUTbooleantrue
MaskingGroup REF CIM_MaskingGroup
DescriptionstringReference to a masking group.
Requiredbooleantrue

AddMembers (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (AddMembers)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringAdd members to an existing masking group.
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, .., 32768..65535
ValuesstringSuccess, Not Supported, Unspecified Error, Timeout, Failed, Invalid Parameter, In Use, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific

Method Parameters (AddMembers)

NameTypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
DeviceNumbersstring[]
DescriptionstringList of device numbers that correspond to Members. This property is applicable when the group consists of storage volumes.
MembersCIM_ManagedElement[]
DescriptionstringList of elements to add to the group. New members are added, in the order supplied, to the end of the existing members of the group. It is not an error, if a new member is already in the group.
Job REF CIM_ConcreteJob
DescriptionstringReference to the job (may be NULL if job is completed).
INbooleanfalse
OUTbooleantrue
MaskingGroup REF CIM_MaskingGroup
DescriptionstringReference to an existing masking group.
Requiredbooleantrue

RemoveMembers (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (RemoveMembers)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringRemove members from a masking group.
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .., 32768..65535
ValuesstringSuccess, Not Supported, Unspecified Error, Timeout, Failed, Invalid Parameter, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific

Method Parameters (RemoveMembers)

NameTypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
DeleteOnEmptyboolean
DescriptionstringIf true and removal of the members causes the group to become empty, the group will be deleted. Note, if empty groups are not allowed, the group will be deleted automatically when the group becomes empty. If this parameter is not NULL, it overrides the group's property DeleteOnEmpty.
MembersCIM_ManagedElement[]
DescriptionstringList of elements to remove from a group. Deleting all members of a group is equivalent to deleting the group if empty groups are not supported by the implementation.
Job REF CIM_ConcreteJob
DescriptionstringReference to the job (may be NULL if job is completed).
INbooleanfalse
OUTbooleantrue
MaskingGroup REF CIM_MaskingGroup
DescriptionstringReference to an existing masking group.
Requiredbooleantrue

CreateMaskingView (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (CreateMaskingView)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringExpose a group of SCSI logical units (such as RAID volumes or tape drives) to a group of initiators through a group of target ports, through one or more SCSIProtocolControllers (SPCs). If 0 is returned, the function completed successfully and no ConcreteJob instance is created. If 4096/0x1000 is returned, a ConcreteJob is started, a reference to which is returned in the Job output parameter.
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, .., 4096, 4097..32767, 32768..65535
