CreateProtocolControllerWithPorts (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (CreateProtocolControllerWithPorts)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringThis method creates an appropriate subclass of ProtocolController. In addition to its role of controlling downstream devices, a ProtocolControl is used to provide a central management point for access control with respect to those devices. Certain storage system implementations across multiple vendors require permissions to be established atomically with the creation of a ProtocolController. This method provides this capability via the Privilege and Identity properties. By supplying appropriate information in those properties, this method will assure that appropriate AuthorizedTarget and AuthorizedSubject associations, (as defined in the User and Security Model), are instantiated to restrict access to the logical devices 'behind' it. If multiple target ports are specified in the Ports input parameter, all expose the same view (i.e., have the same unit numbers and permissions). This method does not create the port instances, but does create ProtocolControllerForPort associations between the specified ports and the new ProtocolController. The new ProtocolController is defined to be weak to the same System as the ControllerConfigurationService.

Method Parameters (CreateProtocolControllerWithPorts)

NameTypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringThe string to be used in the ElementName of the new ProtocolController.
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_ProtocolController.ElementName
Protocoluint16
DescriptionstringThe protocol type for the new ProtocolController.
ValueMapstring0, 1, 2
ValuesstringUnknown, Other, SCSI
Portsstring[]
DescriptionstringArray of strings containing representations of references to instances of CIM_LogicalPort (or subclass) instances. This is the list of target ports that are associated to the ProtocolController. ProtocolControllerForPort associations are created by the instrumentation associating the new ProtocolController to these ports. If this parameter is null, then all ports in the storage system (this Service's 'scoping' System and all its ComponentCS Systems) are attached to the new ProtocolController.
Identity REF CIM_ManagedElement
DescriptionstringReference to a CIM_ManagedElement (or subclass) instance. This ManagedElement MUST be either a CIM_Identity, or a CIM_Collection (or subclass, eg. SystemSpecificCollection, Role, or Group) that has CIM_Identities as MemberOfCollection. If ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.ProtocolControllerSupportsCollection is false, the reference MUST be to a CIM_Identity (or subclass). If present, it has a 1:1 correspondence with the Privilege property. If present, this method will atomically create the new ProtocolController instance and instantiate a missing AuthorizedSubject association between the Privilege/Identity pair; and instantiate an AuthorizedTarget association between the AuthorizedPrivilege and the new ProtocolController. Note: if ProtocolControllerRequiresAuthorizedIdentity is true, then at least the Identity/Privilege pair MUST be specified.
Privilege REF CIM_Privilege
DescriptionstringReference to a CIM_Privilege (or subclass) instance to be used as a template. If supplied, it has a 1:1 correspondence with the Identity parameter and this method will atomically create the new ProtocolController instance and related AuthorizedPrivilege, AuthorizedTarget and AuthorizedSubject instances. Note: if ProtocolControllerRequiresAuthorizedIdentity is true, then the Identity/Privilege pair MUST be specified. If false, then the Identity/Privilege pair MUST NOT be specified.

Method Parameters (DeleteProtocolController)

NameTypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
DeleteChildrenProtocolControllersboolean
DescriptionstringIf true, the management instrumentation provider will also delete 'child' ProtocolControllers (i.e., those defined as Dependent references in instances of AssociatedProtocolController where this ProtocolController is the Antecedent reference). Also, all direct associations involving the 'child' ProtocolControllers will be removed.
DeleteUnitsboolean
DescriptionstringIf true, the management instrumentation provider will also delete LogicalDevice instances associated via ProtocolControllerForUnit, to this ProtocolController and its children. (Note that 'child' controllers will only be affected if the DeleteChildrenProtocolControllers input parameter is TRUE). LogicalDevice instances are only deleted if there are NO remaining ProtocolControllerForUnit associations, to other ProtocolControllers.
ProtocolController REF CIM_ProtocolController
DescriptionstringThe ProtocolController to be deleted.

AttachDevice (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (AttachDevice)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringThis method associates a LogicalDevice subclass (specifically a StorageVolume or MediaAccessDevice subclass) to the referenced ProtocolController. The association is persisted as an instance of ProtocolControllerForUnit. The management instrumentation provider must verify that the logical unit numbers (defined using the DeviceNumber input parameter) are unique for the ProtocolController. When the Protocol Controller is actively masking a device (i.e. is part of an AuthorizedTarget association), the provider should update the access configuration in the underlying hardware as appropriate.

ExposePaths (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (ExposePaths)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringExpose a list of SCSI logical units (such as RAID volumes or tape drives) to a list of initiators through a list of target ports, through one or more SCSIProtocolControllers (SPCs). The parameters for this method are: Job - null if no job created, otherwise this is a reference to the job. LUNames - the list of names of the logical units to use. InitiatorPortIDs - the names of the initiator ports to use. TargetPortIDs - the names of the target ports to use. DeviceNumbers - the device numbers (LUNs) to use. DeviceAccesses - permissions for the logical units. ProtocolControllers - SPCs involved in this operation. There are two modes of operation, create and modify. If a NULL value is passed in for the SPC, then the instrumentation will create at least one SPC that satisfies the request. Depending upon the instrumentation capabilities, more than one SPC MAY be created. (e.g. if CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.OneHardwareIDPerView is true and more than one initiatorID was passed in, then one SPC per initiatorID will be created). If an SPC is passed in, then the instrumentation attempts to add the new paths to the existing SPC. Depending upon the instrumentation capabilities, this MAY result in the creation of additional SPCs. The instrumentation MAY return an error if honoring this request would violate SCSI semantics. For creating an SPC, the parameters that MUST be specified are dependent upon the SPCAllows* properties in CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities. If SPCAllowsNoLUs is false, the caller MUST specify a list of LUNames. If it is true, the caller MAY specify a list of LUNames or MAY pass in null. If SPCAllowsNoTargets is false and PortsPerView is not 'All Ports share the same view' the caller MUST specify a list of TargetPortIDs. If it is true, the caller MAY specify a list of TargetPortIDs or MAY pass in null. If SPCAllowsNoInitiators is false, the caller MUST specify a list of InitiatorPortIDs. If it is true, the caller MAY specify a list of InitiatorPortIDs or MAY pass in null. If LUNames is not null, the caller MUST specify DeviceAccesses for each logical unit. If the instrumentation's CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities ClientSelectableDeviceNumbers property is TRUE then the client MAY provide a list of device numbers (LUNs) to use for the paths to be created. If is false, the client MUST pass in NULL for this parameter. The LUNames, DeviceNumbers, and DeviceAccesses parameters are mutually indexed arrays - any element in DeviceNumbers or DeviceAccesses will set a property relative to the LogicalDevice instance named in the corresponding element of LUNames. LUNames and DeviceAccesses MUST have the same number of elements. DeviceNumbers MUST be null (asking the instrumentation to assign numbers) or have the same number of elements as LUNames. If these conditions are not met, the instrumentation MUST return a 'Invalid Parameter' status or a CIM_Error. For modifying an SPC, there are three specific use cases identified. The instrumentation MUST support these use cases. Other permutations are allowed, but are vendor-specific. The use cases are: Add LUs to a view, Add initiator IDs to a view, and Add target port IDs to a view. Add LUs to a view requires that the LUNames parameter not be null and that the InitiatorIDs and TargetPortIDs parameters be null. DeviceNumbers MAY be null if ClientSelectableDeviceNumbers is false. DeviceAccesses MUST be specified. Add initiator IDs to a view requires that the LUNames parameter be null, that the InitiatorIDs not be null, and that the TargetPortIDs parameters be null. DeviceNumbers and DeviceAccesses MUST be null. Add target port IDs to a view requires that the LUNames and InitiatorPortIDs parameters be null and is only possible is PortsPerView is 'Multiple Ports Per View'. DeviceNumbers and DeviceAccesses MUST also be null The relevant rules of SCSI semantics are: - an SPC MAY NOT be exposed through a particular host/target port pair that is in use by another SPC. (In other words, an SPC and its associated logical units and ports together correspond to the logical unit inventory provided by SCSI REPORT LUNS and INQUIRY commands) - each LogicalDevice associated to an SPC MUST have a unique ProtocolControllerForUnit DeviceNumber (logical unit number) The instrumentation MUST report an error if the client request would violate one of these rules. If the instrumentation provides PrivilegeManagementService, the results of setting DeviceAccesses MUST be synchronized with PrivilegeManagementService as described in the ProtocolControllerForUnit DeviceAccess description.

ProtocolControllersCIM_SCSIProtocolController[]
DescriptionstringAn array of references to SCSIProtocolControllers (SPCs). On input, this can be null, or contain exactly one element; there MAY be multiple references on output. If null on input, the instrumentation will create one or more new SPC instances. If an SPC is specified, the instrumentation will attempt to add associations to one or more existing SPCs. If the first array element is a valid SPC reference and SCSI semantics can be preserved, the instrumentation MUST attach associations to the specified SPC. If multiple elements are non-null on input, the instrumentation MUST report an invalid parameter. On output, this is an array of references to SPCs created or modified as the result of processing the request.

HidePaths (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (HidePaths)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringHide a list of SCSI logical units (such as a RAID volume or tape drive) from a list of initiators and/or target ports on a SCSIProtocolController (SPC). The parameters for this method are: Job - null if no job created, otherwise this is a reference to the job. LUNames - the list of names of the logical units to use. InitiatorPortIDs - the names of the initiator ports to use. TargetPortIDs - the names of the target ports to use. ProtocolControllers - SPCs involved in this operation. When hiding logical units, there are three specific use cases identified. The instrumentation MUST support these use cases. Other permutations are allowed, but are vendor-specific. The use cases are: Remove LUs from a view, Remove initiator IDs from a view, and Remove target port IDs from a view. Remove LUs from a view requires that the LUNames parameter not be null and that the InitiatorIDs and TargetPortIDs parameters be null. Remove initiator IDs from a view requires that the LUNames parameter be null, that the InitiatorIDs not be null, and that the TargetPortIDs parameters be null. Remove target port IDs from a view requires that the LUNames and InitiatorPortIDs parameters be null. The disposition of the SPC when the last logical unit, initiator ID, or target port ID is removed depends upon the CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilites SPCAllowsNo* properties. If SPCAllowsNoLUs is false, then the SPC is automatically deleted when the last logical unit is removed. If SPCAllowsNoTargets is false, then the SPC is automatically deleted when the last target port ID is removed. If SPCAllowsNoInitiators is false, then the SPC is automatically deleted when the last initiator port ID is removed. In all other cases, the SPC MUST be explicitly deleted via the DeleteInstance intrinsic function.

ExposeDefaultLUs (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (ExposeDefaultLUs)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringExpose a list of SCSI logical units (such as RAID volumes or tape drives) through a 'default view' SCSIProtocolController (SPC) through a list of target ports. The 'default view' SPC exposes logical units to all initiators. This SPC is identified by an association to a StorageHardwareID with Name property set to the empty string. The parameters for this method are: Job - null if no job created, otherwise this is a reference to the job. LUNames - the list of names of the logical units to use. TargetPortIDs - the names of the target ports to use. DeviceNumbers - the device numbers (LUNs) to use. DeviceAccesses - permissions for the logical units. ProtocolControllers - SPCs involved in this operation. There are two modes of operation, create and modify. If a NULL value is passed in for the SPC, then the instrumentation will attempt to create a new default view. If PortsPerView is 'All Ports share the same view', then there is at most one default view SPC. If PortsPerView is not 'All Ports share the same view', then there MAY be multiple default view SPCs as long as different ports are associated with each. If an SPC is passed in, then the instrumentation adds the new paths to the existing SPC. The instrumentation MAY return an error if honoring this request would violate SCSI semantics. For creating a default view SPC, the parameters that MUST be specified are dependent upon the SPCAllows* properties in CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities. If SPCAllowsNoLUs is false, the caller MUST specify a list of LUNames. If it is true, the caller MAY specify a list of LUNames or MAY pass in null. If SPCAllowsNoTargets is false, the caller MUST specify a list of TargetPortIDs. If it is true, the caller MAY specify a list of TargetPortIDs or MAY pass in null. If LUNames is not null, the caller MUST specify DeviceAccesses for each logical unit. If the instrumentation's CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities ClientSelectableDeviceNumbers property is TRUE then the client MAY provide a list of device numbers (LUNs) to use for the paths to be created. If is false, the client MUST pass in NULL for this parameter. The LUNames, DeviceNumbers, and DeviceAccesses parameters are mutually indexed arrays - any element in DeviceNumbers or DeviceAccesses will set a property relative to the LogicalDevice instance named in the corresponding element of LUNames. LUNames and DeviceAccesses MUST have the same number of elements. DeviceNumbers MUST be null (asking the instrumentation to assign numbers) or have the same number of elements as LUNames. If these conditions are not met, the instrumentation MUST return a 'Invalid Parameter' status or a CIM_Error. For modifying an SPC, there are two specific use cases identified. The instrumentation MUST support one and the other is required depending on a how a property is set. Other permutations are allowed, but are vendor-specific. The required use case is - Add LUs to a default view. Add LUs to a default view requires that the LUNames parameter not be null and that the TargetPortIDs parameters be null. DeviceNumbers MAY be null if ClientSelectableDeviceNumbers is false. DeviceAccess MUST be specified. Add target port IDs to a default view is only valid if PortsPerView is set to 'Multiple Ports per View'. It requires that the LUNames, DeviceNumbers, and DeviceAccesses MUST also be null The relevant rules of SCSI semantics are: - an SPC MAY NOT be exposed through a particular host/target port pair that is in use by another SPC. (In other words, an SPC and its associated logical units and ports together correspond to the logical unit inventory provided by SCSI REPORT LUNS and INQUIRY commands) - each LogicalDevice associated to an SPC MUST have a unique ProtocolControllerForUnit DeviceNumber (logical unit number) The instrumentation MUST report an error if the client request would violate one of these rules. If the instrumentation provides PrivilegeManagementService, the results of setting DeviceAccesses MUST be synchronized with PrivilegeManagementService as described in the ProtocolControllerForUnit DeviceAccess description.

The instrumentation MUST support the Remove LUs case and MUST support the remove target port IDs if PortsPerView is set to 'Multiple Ports per View'. Other permutations are allowed, but are vendor-specific. The use cases are: Remove LUs from a default view and Remove target port IDs from a default view. Remove LUs from a default view requires that the LUNames parameter not be null and that the TargetPortIDs parameter be null. Remove target port IDs from a default view is required if PortsPerView is Multiple Ports per view. It requires that the LUNames parameter be null. If both LUNames and TargetIDs parameters are non-null and CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.MaximumMapCount is 0, then the instrumentation MUST create new SPCs and change associations as necessary to meet the client request and maintain the relevant rules of SCSI in the ExposeDefaultLUs description. If both LUNames and TargetIDs parameters are non-null and CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.MaximumMapCount is greater than 0, then any client request that cannot be honored by changing associations to the specified SPC will receive a 'Maximum Map Count Error' response. The disposition of the SPC when the last logical unit or target port ID is removed depends upon the CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilites SPCAllowsNo* properties. If SPCAllowsNoLUs is false, then the SPC is automatically deleted when the last logical unit is removed. If SPCAllowsNoTargets is false, then the SPC is automatically deleted when the last target port ID is removed. In all other cases, the SPC MUST be explicitly deleted via the DeleteInstance intrinsic function.

Method Parameters (HideDefaultLUs)

NameTypeQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
LUNamesstring[]
DescriptionstringA list of IDs of logical units. Each LU instance MUST already exist. See the method description for conditions where this MAY be null.
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_LogicalDevice.Name
Requiredbooleantrue
TargetPortIDsstring[]
DescriptionstringIDs of target ports. See the method description for conditions where this MAY be null.
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_SCSIProtocolEndpoint.Name
ProtocolControllersCIM_SCSIProtocolController[]
DescriptionstringAn array of references to SCSIProtocolControllers (SPCs). On input, this MUST contain exactly one element; there MAY be multiple references on output. The instrumentation will attempt to remove associations (LUNames or TargetPortIDs) from this SPC. Depending upon the specific implementation, the instrumentation MAY need to create new SPCs with a subset of the remaining associations. On output, this is an array of references to SPCs created or modified as the result of processing the request.
OUTbooleantrue
Job REF CIM_ConcreteJob
DescriptionstringReference to the job if 'Method Parameters Checked - Job Started' is returned (MAY be null if job completed).
INbooleanfalse
OUTbooleantrue
