HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 CIM API (QL226-96591, July 2012)

"A 3PAR-specific method that can be used to create a "
"thin-provisioned or full-provisioned volume from a "
"TPD_DynamicStoragePool. "
"To create a thin-provisioned volume, Goal.ThinlyProvisioned "
"property must be set to true. If Goal is NULL or if "
"Goal.ThinlyProvisioned is false, then a full-provisoned "
"volume will be created. "
"One of the parameters for this method is Size. "
"As an input parameter, Size specifies the desired size of "
"the element. As an output parameter, it specifies the size "
"achieved. Space is taken from the input StoragePool. The "
"desired settings for the element are specified by the Goal "
"parameter. If the requested size cannot be created, no "
"action will be taken, and the Return Value will be "
"4097/0x1001. Also, the output value of Size is set to the "
"nearest possible size. If 0 is returned, the function "
"completed successfully and no ConcreteJob instance was "
"required. If 4096/0x1000 is returned, a ConcreteJob will be "
"started to create the element. The Job's reference will be "
"returned in the output parameter Job."),

"The requirements for the element to maintain. If set to "
