Features	uint16[]
		Description	string	An 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 areallocated 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 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 fracture: The copy operation has completed; however, the synchronization relationship must be fractured. Resync operation requires 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.

Empty replication groups allowed: A replication group can have zero elements. Source group must have more than one element: A group with only one element is not allowed. Composite Groups: Elements of a group may be from different arrays. Multi-hop group replication: A group that is the target of a copy operation can be the source of another copy operation at the same time. Multi-hop elements must have same SyncType: The SyncType of each hop must be the same as previous hop, e.g., mirror, snapshot, clone. Group can only have one single relationship active: Only one StorageSynchronized association within a group can be active at a given time. Source element can be removed from group: A source element can be removed even when the group is associated with another replication group. Target element can be removed from group: A target element can be removed even when the group is associated with another replication group. Group can be temporary: Group can have a persistence of false, which means the group -- not its elements, may be deleted if it no longer participates in a replication operation. Group is nameable: In creating a group, it is possible to name the group. Supports target element count: It is possible to supply one source element and request more than one target element copies. Synchronized clone target detaches automatically: The clone target group detaches automatically when the target group 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 resync: For the copy operation to continue, resync of source and target elements is required.

Resync operation requires 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.
