| Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers |
| Name | Data Type | Value |
| InitialStorageTieringSelection | uint16 | 0 |
| Description | string | Use this value to set the property StorageTieringSelection of the associated element. Storage tiering examines StorageTieringSelection to determine whether to use RelativePerformanceOrder or RelativePerformanceOrderSet for selecting an appropriate storage tier. A value of 0 or null indicates the associated element is not subject to storage tiering. |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_AdvancedStorageSetting.RelativePerformanceOrderLimit, CIM_AdvancedStorageSetting.InitialRelativePerformanceOrderSet |
| ValueMap | string | 0, 2, 3, .., 0x8000.. |
| Values | string | Unknown, Use RelativePerformanceOrder, Use RelativePerformanceOrderSet, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific |
| Write | boolean | true |
| InitialStorageTierMethodology | uint16 | 2 |
| Description | string | Enumeration indicating the initial storage tier for this element. None (or null): The element should not be considered for storage tiering. |
| ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, .., 0x8000.. |
| Values | string | None, Implementation Decides, Highest Performance, Lowest Performance, Highest Availability, Lowest Availability, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific |
| Write | boolean | true |
| RelativePerformanceOrderLimit | uint16 | |
| Description | string | The storage tiering limit applied to the element. This property indicates RelativePerformanceOrder not to exceed this value.InitialStorageTierMethodology specifies the initial placement of the element in the appropriate storage tier. |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_AdvancedStorageSetting.InitialStorageTierMethodology, CIM_StorageTier.RelativePerformanceOrder |
| Write | boolean | true |
| StorageTieringFrozen | boolean | |
| Description | string | If true, and the storage element is under the control of the tiering subsystem, the element's tiering associations will remain frozen -- no data relocation between tiers. |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_StorageVolume.StorageTieringSelection |
| Write | boolean | true |
| InitialRelativePerformanceOrderSet | uint16[] | |
| Description | string | A set of values. The associated element can only be placed in storage tiers that have a RelativePerformanceOrder value included in this set. |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_AdvancedStorageSetting.InitialStorageTierMethodology, CIM_StorageTier.RelativePerformanceOrder |
| Write | boolean | true |
