Name	Data Type	Default Value	Qualifiers
Name	Data Type	Default Value	Name	Data Type	Value
AttachDeviceSupported	boolean
			Deprecated	string	CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.SupportedAsynchronousActions, CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.SupportedSynchronousActions
			Description	string	Set to true if this storage system supports the AttachDevice method.
ClientSelectableDeviceNumbers	boolean	true
ClientSelectableDeviceNumbers	boolean	true	Description	string	Set to true if this storage system allows the client to specify the DeviceNumber parameter when calling ControllerConfigurationService.AttachDevice() or specify the DeviceNumbers parameter when calling ControllerConfigurationService.ExposePaths(). Set to false if the implementation does not allow unit numbers to vary for a ProtocolController. However, if set to false and a Device is not the Dependent of a ProtocolControllerForUnit association, the client MUST provide a DeviceNumber parameter in ControllerConfigurationService.AttachDevice or ControllerConfigurationService.ExposePaths. If set to false and the Device is already the Dependent of a ProtocolControllerForUnit association, then the client can omit the DeviceNumber parameter (or supply the same value) in subsequent ControllerConfigurationService.AttachDevice calls.
CreateProtocolControllerSupported	boolean
CreateProtocolControllerSupported	boolean		Description	string	Set to true if this storage system supports the CreateProtocolControllerWithPorts method.
ExposePathsSupported	boolean
ExposePathsSupported	boolean		Description	string	Set to true if this storage system supports the ExposePaths and HidePaths methods.
ExposePathsWithNameAndHostTypeSupported	boolean
ExposePathsWithNameAndHostTypeSupported	boolean		Description	string	Set to true if this storage system supports the ExposePathsWithNameAndHostType method.
MaximumMapCount	uint16	0
MaximumMapCount	uint16	0	Description	string	The maximum number of ProtocolCOntrollerForUnit associations that can be associated with a single LogicalDevice (for example, StorageVolume). Zero indicates there is no limit.
OneHardwareIDPerView	boolean	false
OneHardwareIDPerView	boolean	false	Description	string	Set to true if this storage system limits configurations to a single subject hardware ID per view. Otherwise, multiple hardware ID types can be used. The default is FALSE, that multiple ID types MAY be used in a single view.
PortsPerView	uint16	2
			Description	string	An integer enumeration indicating the way that ports per view (ProtocolController) are handled by the underlying storage system.
			ValueMap	string	2, 3, 4
			Values	string	One Port per View, Multiple Ports per View, All Ports share the same View
PrivilegeDeniedSupported	boolean	false
PrivilegeDeniedSupported	boolean	false	Description	string	Set to true if this storage system allows a client to create a Privilege instance with PrivilegeGranted set to FALSE.
ProtocolControllerRequiresAuthorizedIdentity	boolean	false
ProtocolControllerRequiresAuthorizedIdentity	boolean	false	Description	string	If true, this property indicates that a Privilege/Identity pair MUST be specified when CreateProtocolControllerWithPorts() is called. If false, then the Privilege/Identity pair in CreateProtocolControllerWithPorts() MUST NOT be set.
ProtocolControllerSupportsCollections	boolean	false
ProtocolControllerSupportsCollections	boolean	false	Description	string	If true, this property indicates that the Identity parameter of CreateProtocolConntrollerWithPorts() MUST contain a reference to a CIM_Collection (or subclass) or to a CIM_Identity (or subclass). If ExposePathsSupported is true, this property indicates the storage system supports SystemSpecificCollections of StorageHardwareIDs.
SPCAllowsNoInitiators	boolean	false
SPCAllowsNoInitiators	boolean	false	Description	string	Set to true if the instumentation allows a client to create a configuration where an SPC has no StorageHardwareIDs associated via CIM_AuthorizedTarget/CIM_AuthorizedPrivilege/CIM_AuthorizedSubject.
SPCAllowsNoLUs	boolean	false
SPCAllowsNoLUs	boolean	false	Description	string	Set to true if the instumentation allows a client to create a configuration where an SPC has no LogicalDevices associated via CIM_ProtocolControllerForUnit associations.
SPCAllowsNoTargets	boolean	false
SPCAllowsNoTargets	boolean	false	Description	string	Set to true if the instumentation allows a client to create a configuration where an SPC has no target SCSIProtocolEndpoints associated via CIM_SAPAvailableForELement associations.
SPCSupportsDefaultViews	boolean	true
			Description	string	Set to true if it the instrumentation supports 'default view' SPCs that exposes logical units to all initiators (so called 'promiscuous LUNs'. Default view SPCs MUST have be associated to a CIM_StorageHardwareID instance with Name set to the null string. A target port MUST NOT be associated with more a single default view SPC. If PortsPerView is 'All Ports share the same View', then at most one default view SPC MAY be associated with the target system. If SPCAllowsNoLUs is true, the instrumentation MAY instantiate a static default view instance or let the client create one as needed using ExposePaths. For other values of PortsPerView, all default view SPC MUST share the same null-Name CIM_StorageHardwareID instance.
			ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.PortsPerView
UniqueUnitNumbersPerPort	boolean	false
UniqueUnitNumbersPerPort	boolean	false	Description	string	When set to false, different ProtocolContollers attached to a LogicalPort can expose the same unit numbers. If true, then this storage system requires unique unit numbers across all the ProtocolControllers connected to a LogicalPort.

GetElementNameCapabilities (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (GetElementNameCapabilities)

Name	Data Type	Value
Description	string	This method indicates if ElementName can be specified as a part of invoking an appropriate method of the ControllerConfigurationService to create a new element. Additionally, the returned data includes the methods that can be used to modify the ElementName of existing storage elements. This method also returns the restrictions on the ElementName in the related "OUT" parameters.
ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_ControllerConfigurationService.ExposePaths, CIM_ControllerConfigurationService.ExposePathsWithNameAndHostType, CIM_StorageHardwareIDManagementService.CreateStorageHardwareID, CIM_GroupMaskingMappingService.CreateMaskingView
ValueMap	string	0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, .., 0x8000..
Values	string	Success, Not Supported, Unknown, Timeout, Failed, Invalid Parameter, In Use, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific

Method Parameters (GetElementNameCapabilities)

Name	Type	Qualifiers
Name	Type	Name	Data Type	Value
ElementNameMask	string
		Description	string	This 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.
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities.ElementNameMask
		OUT	boolean	true
ElementType	uint16
		Description	string	A value indicating the element type.
		IN	boolean	true
		ValueMap	string	2, 3, .., 0x8000..
		Values	string	StorageHardwareID, SCSIProtocolController, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific
MaxElementNameLen	uint16
		Description	string	Maximum supported ElementName length.
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities.MaxElementNameLen
		OUT	boolean	true
SupportedFeatures	uint16[]
		Description	string	Enumeration indicating what methods can accept the element name for creation or modification of a storage element. ExposePaths is an example of an InvokeMethod. ModifyInstance and SetProperty are examples of intrinsic methods. An empty array indicates ElementNaming for ElementType is not supported, in which case the other OUT parameters are null.
		OUT	boolean	true
		ValueMap	string	2, 3, 4, .., 32768..65535
		Values	string	ElementName can be supplied during creation, ElementName can be modified with InvokeMethod, ElementName can be modified with intrinsic method, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific
Goal	REF CIM_ManagedElement
		Description	string	Properties of the Goal provide additional information about ElementType.
		IN	boolean	true
