Resource
Resource objects inherit from the Entity class, and define the UUID, DisplayName, ManagementURL,
and Tags attribute. A Resource represents an entity that will be displayed and managed within
SPM, including storage arrays, storage pools, and volumes.
DescriptionTypeProperty
Optional unique object identifier.StringObjectID
Required unique resource identifier.StringUUID
Name of this resource to be displayed
in SPM.
StringDisplayName
URL for the management interface for
this resource.
StringManagementURL
List of user-specified tags for this
resource.
Sequence of StringTags
UUID
Each resource has a unique identifier used to identify that resource within SPM. This is represented
as a string.
DisplayName
Each resource has an individual name used to display it within the SPM interface. This is represented
as a string.
ManagementURL
Each resource may have an associated URL representing the interface to a management tool for
that resource. This is represented as a string. The URL provided here will be displayed as a clickable
hyperlink within SPM, allowing navigation to an external tool used to manage the resource.
Tags
Each resource may have a number of associated tags. These are stored as a sequence of strings.
Tags are user-defined. New tags provided within an XML file are added to the set of tags known
by SPM.
StorageArray
A StorageArray object describes an instance of a class of storage arrays described by the
StorageArrayDefinition of which it is a part. StorageArray objects inherit the UUID, DisplayName,
ManagementURL, and Tags elements from the Resource class. See Resource for further discussion
of these elements.
DescriptionTypeProperty
Optional unique object identifier.StringObjectID
Required unique resource identifier.StringUUID
Name displayed by SPM for this
storage array.
StringDisplayName
URL for the management interface for
this storage array.
StringManagementURL
User-specified tags for this storage
array.
Sequence of StringTags
