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

1. Fixed StorageSetting for creating Legacy Fully Provisioned Volume.
There are four of these, one for each RAID type, and each is associated to
3PAR:Capabilities:RAIDxStorageCapabilities. Their InstanceIDs are
3PAR:StorageSetting:RAIDx. A client can use StorageSetting to create a legacy,
fully provisioned virtual volume. Most Logical Disk (LD) and virtual volume-specific properties
are populated.
2. Fixed StorageSetting for creating DynamicStoragePool.
There are four of these, one for each RAID type, and each is associated to
3PAR:Capabilities:RAIDxStorageCapabilities. Their InstanceIDs are
3PAR:DynamicStoragePoolSetting:RAIDx. A client can use this StorageSetting
to create a DynamicStoragePool. Most LD properties are populated, but not those for
virtual volumes.
3. Fixed StorageSetting for creating Volume From DynamicStoragePool.
There are two of these settings per DynamicStoragePool, and each is associated to the
3PAR:Capabilities for DynamicStoragePool <poolname> StorageCapabilities of the
DynamicStoragePool. One has an InstanceID of 3PAR:ThinProvisionedVolumeSetting from
DynamicStoragePool <poolname> that a client can use for creating a TP volume from the
DynamicStoragePool; the other has an instance of 3PAR:FullyProvisionedVolumeSetting from
DynamicStoragePool <poolname> that a client can use for creating a fully provisioned volume
from the DynamicStoragePool. Only volume-related properties will be populated.
4. TPD_VolumeSetting.
This StorageSetting contains the current configuration of a volume. This is associated to the
StorageVolume via TPD_ElementSettingData. There is no association to any
TPD_StorageCapabilities.
5. StorageSetting generated from of"CreateSetting
3PAR:Capabilities:RAIDx"capabilities.
StorageSetting created this way is generic enough that it encompasses LD, virtual volume
and snap space specific properties. A client has to tailor the properties carefully to create the
element (DSP, legacy volume or new-style volume) it desires. This setting has a
StorageSettingGeneratedFromCapabilities association to the
“3PAR:Capabilities:RAIDx” capabilities.
6. StorageSetting generated from CreateSetting of "3PAR:Capabilities for
DynamicStoragePool" Capabilities.
StorageSetting created this way can be used by a client for user space or snapshot 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:Capabilities for DynamicStoragePool:<poolname>" Capabilities.
7. StorageSetting created by CreateInstance.
StorageSetting contains 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 modifies 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.
