NameData TypeDefault ValueQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
AttachDeviceSupportedboolean
DeprecatedstringCIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.SupportedAsynchronousActions, CIM_ProtocolControllerMaskingCapabilities.SupportedSynchronousActions
DescriptionstringSet to true if this storage system supports the AttachDevice method.
ClientSelectableDeviceNumbersbooleantrue
DescriptionstringSet 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.
CreateProtocolControllerSupportedboolean
DescriptionstringSet to true if this storage system supports the CreateProtocolControllerWithPorts method.
ExposePathsSupportedboolean
DescriptionstringSet to true if this storage system supports the ExposePaths and HidePaths methods.
ExposePathsWithNameAndHostTypeSupportedboolean
DescriptionstringSet to true if this storage system supports the ExposePathsWithNameAndHostType method.
MaximumMapCountuint160
DescriptionstringThe maximum number of ProtocolCOntrollerForUnit associations that can be associated with a single LogicalDevice (for example, StorageVolume). Zero indicates there is no limit.
OneHardwareIDPerViewbooleanfalse
DescriptionstringSet 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.
PortsPerViewuint162
DescriptionstringAn integer enumeration indicating the way that ports per view (ProtocolController) are handled by the underlying storage system.
ValueMapstring2, 3, 4
ValuesstringOne Port per View, Multiple Ports per View, All Ports share the same View
PrivilegeDeniedSupportedbooleanfalse
DescriptionstringSet to true if this storage system allows a client to create a Privilege instance with PrivilegeGranted set to FALSE.
ProtocolControllerRequiresAuthorizedIdentitybooleanfalse
DescriptionstringIf 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.
ProtocolControllerSupportsCollectionsbooleanfalse
DescriptionstringIf 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.
SPCAllowsNoInitiatorsbooleanfalse
DescriptionstringSet 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.
SPCAllowsNoLUsbooleanfalse
DescriptionstringSet to true if the instumentation allows a client to create a configuration where an SPC has no LogicalDevices associated via CIM_ProtocolControllerForUnit associations.
SPCAllowsNoTargetsbooleanfalse
DescriptionstringSet to true if the instumentation allows a client to create a configuration where an SPC has no target SCSIProtocolEndpoints associated via CIM_SAPAvailableForELement associations.
SPCSupportsDefaultViewsbooleantrue
DescriptionstringSet 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.

UniqueUnitNumbersPerPortbooleanfalse
DescriptionstringWhen 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.
OtherValidHardwareIDTypesstring[]
ArrayTypestringIndexed
DescriptionstringAn array of strings describing types for valid StorageHardwareID.IDType. Used when the ValidHardwareIdTypes includes 1 ("Other").
