Supported Method For Creating a Storage Volume Table 29 Method for TPD_StorageConfigurationService Method CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool() Description Allows clients to create a StorageVolume. Method Signature The method signature is described as follows: uint32 CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool ( [In] String ElementName, [In, Values {"StorageVolume", "StorageExtent", "LogicalDisk", "ThinlyProvisionedStorageVolume", "ThinlyProvisionedLogicalDisk", "ThinlyProvisionedAllocatedStoragePool", "ThinlyProvisionedQuotaStoragePool", "ThinlyProvisionedLimitlessStoragePool"}, ValueMap{"2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"}] Uint16 ElementType, [Out] CIM_ConcreteJob ref Job, [In] CIM_StorageSetting ref Goal, [In, Out] Uint64 Size, [In] CIM_StoragePool ref InPool, [In, Out] CIM_LogicalElement ref TheElement); • ElementName: The name of the volume to be created or expanded. • ElementType: This enumeration specifies what type of object to create. ◦ StorageVolume(2)and ThinlyProvisionedStorageVolume(5) are supported. If the InPool parameter contains a reference to a concrete pool, this can only be StorageVolume(2). • Job: If a Job was created as a side-effect of the execution of the method, then a reference to that Job is returned through this parameter. Job control is not supported. This output parameter is always NULL. • Goal: This is the Service Level that the StorageVolume option is expected to provide. The Setting is a subset of the Capabilities available from the parent StoragePool. The Goal can be a null value, in which case the default Setting for the Pool is used. The Goal can refer to one of the preexisting StorageSetting instances representing RAID types, or the StorageSetting generated by a CreateSetting method, or from a StorageSetting option that is associated with another existing StorageVolume option. • Size: As an input, this is the desired logical size in bytes of the StorageVolume. If it is not possible to create a volume of the desired size, a return code of Size not supported is returned with the size set to the nearest supported size. If it is a growing volume request, the size is the new size of the volume. As an output, size is the actual size allocated for the volume. It might be a little larger than the input size because the allocation unit is based on chunklet size (256 MB). 32 CIM API SMI-S Support

Supported Method For Creating a Storage Volume

Table 29 Method for TPD_StorageConfigurationService

Description

Method

Allows clients to create a

StorageVolume

CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool()

Method Signature

The method signature is described as follows:

uint32 CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool (

[In] String ElementName,

[In,

Values {"StorageVolume", "StorageExtent", "LogicalDisk",

"ThinlyProvisionedStorageVolume",

“

ThinlyProvisionedLogicalDisk",

"ThinlyProvisionedAllocatedStoragePool",

"ThinlyProvisionedQuotaStoragePool",

"ThinlyProvisionedLimitlessStoragePool"},

ValueMap{"2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"}]

Uint16 ElementType,

[Out] CIM_ConcreteJob ref Job,

[In] CIM_StorageSetting ref Goal,

[In, Out] Uint64 Size,

[In] CIM_StoragePool ref InPool,

[In, Out] CIM_LogicalElement ref TheElement);

•

ElementName

: The name of the volume to be created or expanded.

•

ElementType

: This enumeration specifies what type of object to create.

◦

StorageVolume(2)

and

ThinlyProvisionedStorageVolume(5)

are supported.

If the

InPool

parameter contains a reference to a concrete pool, this can only be

StorageVolume(2)

•

Job

: If a Job was created as a side-effect of the execution of the method, then a reference to

that Job is returned through this parameter. Job control is not supported. This output parameter

is always NULL.

•

Goal

: This is the Service Level that the

StorageVolume

option is expected to provide. The

Setting is a subset of the Capabilities available from the parent

StoragePool

. The Goal can

be a null value, in which case the default Setting for the Pool is used. The Goal can refer to

one of the preexisting

StorageSetting

instances representing RAID types, or the

StorageSetting

generated by a

CreateSetting

method, or from a

StorageSetting

option that is associated with another existing

StorageVolume

option.

•

Size

: As an input, this is the desired logical size in bytes of the

StorageVolume

. If it is not

possible to create a volume of the desired size, a return code of

Size not supported

returned with the size set to the nearest supported size. If it is a growing volume request, the

size is the new size of the volume. As an output, size is the actual size allocated for the volume.

It might be a little larger than the input size because the allocation unit is based on chunklet

size (256 MB).
