StorageSettingGeneratedFromCapabilities association to the
“3PAR:Capabilities:RAIDx”capabilities.
6 StorageSetting generated from CreateSetting of “3PAR:Current Capabilities for
DynamicStoragePool” Capabilities.
StorageSetting created this way can be used by a client for user space or snap space of a
virtual volume. By default the ThinlyProvisioned property is set to FALSE. A client has to
modify this to TRUE if a TPVV is desired. This setting has a
StorageSettingGeneratedFromCapabilities association to the “3PAR:Current
Capabilities for DynamicStoragePool:RAIDx” Capabilities.
7 StorageSetting created by CreateInstance.
These StorageSetting contain values that are totally determined by the client who
created it. The most likely usage for this is if a client clones an existing fixed
StorageSetting and then modified some of the property values before creating it. This
Setting has a StorageSettingGeneratedFromCapabilities association to the appropriate
“3PAR:Capabilities:RAIDx” Capabilities according to the RAID type of the
StorageSetting.The default is RAID10.
8 Persistent StorageSetting/template.
StorageSetting (templates) that are stored in PR. The TemplateType and
TemplateForVolumeType properties of the StorageSetting restrict what kind of element
creation this setting can be applied to. This Setting has a
StorageSettingGeneratedFromCapabilities association to the appropriate
“3PAR:Capabilities:RAIDx” Capabilities according to the RAID type of the
StorageSetting.The Default is RAID10.
Relevant Properties of StorageSetting
Properties Description
Uint64 AllocationUnit Grow increment in bytes. When a TP StorageVolume or a
DynamicStoragePool grows on demand, the system
allocates this number of bytes on each allocation.
Uint64 AllocationUnitMax Maximum allocation unit in bytes.
Uint64
AllocationUnitMin
Minimum allocation unit in bytes.
