HP 3PAR CIM API Programming Reference (QL226-97722, March 2014)

• TargetSettingGoal: The definition for the StorageSetting to be maintained by the target storage
object (the replica). This is valid only for snapshot volumes (base ID, expiration timer, retention
timer).
◦ For snapshots only the following properties are applicable: BaseID, ExpirationTimer and
RetentionTimer.
◦ For clones only the following properties are applicable: ThinlyProvisioned, UserDSPName,
SnapDSPName
• TargetPool: The underlying storage for the target element (the replica) will be drawn from
TargetPool if specified, otherwise the allocation is implementation specific.
◦ For snapshots, this parameter if specified must be the DeltaReplicaStoragePool that is
associated with the source StorageVolume.
◦ For clones, this parameter if specified can be any DynamicStoragePool; if not specified,
the clone will be allocated from the same parent DynamicStoragePool as the source
volume
• WaitForCopyState: Before returning, the method shall wait until this CopyState is reached.
