DescriptionTypeProperty
List of user-specified tags for this
resource.
Sequence of StringTags
The raw capacity of the volume.longCapacity
The raw committed capacity of the
volume.
longCommittedCapacity
The raid level of the volume.StringRaidLevel
Associations between storage array
ports and host ports.
Sequence of VolumePresentationPresentations
Capacity
The capacity of a Volume is represented by a long integer. It represents the number of bytes of
storage subscribed from the pool containing this volume. This storage may not be allocated yet.
CommittedCapacity
The committed capacity of a Volume is represented by a long integer. It represents the number of
bytes of storage allocated from this volume. It must be less than the capacity of the volume.
RaidLevel
The RaidLevel of a Volume is represented by a string. This string is an identifier for the raid level
in the lexicon of the device. This value will be translated to an identifier within the SPM lexicon
using the RAIDMap stored in the StorageArrayDefinition.
Presentations
The Presentations element of a Volume is a sequence of VolumePresentation objects, each of which
describes the mapping and masking properties of the volume for one host initiator. The mapping
defines the array ports through which the volume is to be made visible. Masking defines the hosts
which are granted access to the volume. This sequence may be empty if the storage array is not
associated with any hosts.
VolumePresentation
A VolumePresentation object represents an association between storage array ports and a host
port.
DescriptionTypeProperty
Optional object unique identifier.StringObjectID
The type of access granted to this
volume.
StringAccess
The logical unit number used by the host
to represent this volume.
IntegerLUN
The ObjectID of the host Endpoint that
has access to this volume.
StringInitiatorEndpointObjectID
The ObjectIDs of the array ports through
which the host can access the volume.
Sequence of StringTargetPortObjectIDs
Access
The access to be granted to this volume, stored as a string: one of the following literals: NoAccess,
ReadOnly, or ReadWrite.
