5.9.5 Creating a Volume Through SMI-S
There are two extrinsic methods required to create a volume. The CreateSetting method in
TPD_StorageCapabilities class generates the settings that are used to create the Volume,
and the CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool method in
TPD_StorageConfigurationService class creates, modifies or grows the volume with the
StorageSetting instance created by the CreateSetting method. The
ReturnToStoragePool method is used to delete a volume.
