Property Description
• 4 = Write Once
BlockSize
Size in bytes of the blocks which form this StorageExtent. If variable block size,
then the maximum block size in bytes should be specified. If the block size is
unknown or if a block concept is not valid (for example, for AggregateExtents,
Memory or LogicalDisks), enter a 1.
ConsumableBlocks
The maximum number of blocks, of size BlockSize, which are available for
consumption when layering StorageExtents using the BasedOn association. This
property only has meaning when this StorageExtent is an Antecedent reference in
a BasedOn relationship. For example, a StorageExtent could be composed of 120
blocks. However, the Extent itself may use 20 blocks for redundancy data. If
another StorageExtent is BasedOn this Extent, only 100 blocks would be available
to it. This information ('100 blocks is available for consumption') is indicated in the
ConsumableBlocks property.
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an
instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property
allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
DeviceID
An address or other identifying information used to uniquely name the
LogicalDevice.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a
user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description
information.
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a
user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable
that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name,
without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for
instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the
Name and ElementName properties.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration
for the Enabled State of an element.
Possible values are:
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 5 = Not Applicable
• 6 = Enabled but Offline
• 7 = No Default
• 9 = Quiesce
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an
element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For
example, shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states
between enabled and disabled.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
