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

1. SupportedAsynchronousActions[] – This property has been deprecated and replaced
by StorageReplicationCapabilities.SupportedAsynchronousActions[], but
SMI-S decrees that a provider must still specify the values here for backward compatibility
with 1.0 clients. 1.1 clients ignore these values and consult those from
TPD_StorageReplicationCapabilities instead. The following are added to the array:
a. Replica Attachment – create a physical copy; corresponds to “Local Replica Attachment”
in StorageReplicationCapabilities.SupportedAsynchronousActions.
b. Replica Modification – resync a physical copy; corresponds to “Local Replica Modification”
in StorageReplicationCapabilities.SupportedAsynchronousActions.
2. SupportedSynchronousActions[] – This property has been deprecated and replaced
by StorageReplicationCapabilities.SupportedSynchronousActions [], but
new values are added to the array for backward compatibility with 1.0 clients:
• Replica Creation – create a virtual copy; corresponds to “Local Replica Creation” in
StorageReplicationCapabilities.SupportedSynchronousActions.
3. SupportedCopyTypes[] - describes the replication capabilities supported by the associated
StorageConfigurationServices. This array contains the following 2 values:
a. UnSyncAssoc – corresponds to virtual copy or physical copy with resync capability
b. UnSyncUnAssoc – corresponds to creating an independent physical copy
4. SupportedStorageElementUsage[] - indicates the intended usage or any restrictions that may
have been imposed on the usage of StorageVolumes. This array contains the following values:
a. Unrestricted - applies to base volume
b. Reserved for Computer System - applies to admin volume
c. Reserved by Replication Services - applies to temporary and resync snapshot volume
d. Delta Replica Target - applies to snapshot volume
5. SupportedStoragePoolUsage[] - indicates the intended usage or any restrictions that may have
been imposed on the usage of storage pool. This array contains the following values:
a. Unrestricted - applies to concrete StoragePool
b. Reserved for Computer System - applies to primordial StoragePool
c. Reserved as a Delta Replica Container - applies to DeltaReplicaStoragePool
TPD_StorageConfigurationService
The following new SMI-S methods are implemented:
1. CreateReplica() – used for creating virtual copy
2. AttachOrModifyReplica() – used for creating physical copy to an existing volume
3. ModifySynchronization() – used for promotion of physical and virtual copies,
resynchronization of physical copy and halting physical copy or snapshot promotion. The
input parameter Operation specifies the kind of operation to perform. Valid values for
Operation are:
a. Resync – Causes a snapshot to be restarted as a new PIT (Point-in-Time) image (resync
physical copy)
b. Restore – Copies a snapshot to the source element (promote virtual copy)
c. Detach – Removes the association between the source and replica elements (promote
physical copy)
d. Start Copy – Starts a background copy operation for a replica (start copy on an existing
physical copy)
e. Stop Copy – Stops a background copy operation (halting physical copy)
In addition, a new method is defined that mirrors the CLI updatesnapspace command:
4. UpdateDeltaSnapshotSpace() – used to start calculation of SA/SD space used by a
virtual copy snapshot volume.
