be unique across all Unmanaged Array XML files to be loaded in an instance of SPM. If there is
a conflict, the file containing the second instance of the conflicting ObjectID will be ignored.
Volumes defined within an Unmanaged Array XML file are required to have a UUID identifier used
by SPM or its clients to identify unique resources. Arrays and Pools may have UUIDs, but UUIDs
are not required for these objects. UUIDs should not be reused within an instance of SPM. Ideally,
they will be generated by the array and will always be the same for a given resource no matter
when they are generated.
Names
Names and other strings provided within an Unmanaged Array XML file may be provided in
Unicode using the UTF-8 encoding.
Element ordering
Within each XML element of the following XML Object Model, order of the sub-elements is important
for an XML file to validate with respect to the schema definition file provided with SPM.
XML object model
A UML model identifying the structure of the XML objects within an XML file describing an
unmanaged storage array is shown in Figure 5 (page 105). The elements of the model are described
in more detail in the following sections.
