IN/OUTCommentsType
Parameter
Name
IN
Accept this value only if it is NULL, or if the
passed in StorageSetting reference represents
any setting instance of SNIA_StorageSetting,
as long as the following criteria is met:
• DataRedundancy = 1
• PackageRedundancy = 0
• ExtentStripeLengthMin = 1
• UserDataStripeDepthMin = 1
SNIA_StorageSettingGoal
IN/OUT
As an input parameter - the desired size of
the virtual disk. As an out parameter, the size
achieved. Fail the operation if NULL. NOTE:
Thin virtual disks use the following criteria to
discern the size allocated:
• Allocated space is 10% of virtual space.
• Allocated space can be no larger than 32
GB.
• Allocated space must be at least 512MB.
unit64Size
IN-Required
A reference to a valid StoragePool. Use the
pool's InstanceID to extract the pool name
and the hosting system. Fail the operation if
this parameter is NULL, or if the InPool does
not represent a valid pool.
HPSVSP_ConfiguredPool REFInPool
IN/OUT
As an in parameter: If NULL, then thisis a
create operation. If not NULL, this is a modify
operation.
As an out parameter: A reference to the
HPSVSP_VirtualDisk created.
HPSVSP_VirtualDisk REFTheElement
CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePools()
Method Overview
The CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePools() is a vendor extension similar to
CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool(). This method allows multiple InPools during creation or
modification of an HPSVSP_VirtualDisk. The InPools and Sizes parameters are now indexed arrays
which must have the same number of elements when furnished by a client.
If the TheElement parameter is NULL, then this method serves as a Create operation, otherwise, this
method serves a ExpandVirtualDisk() operation.
This method does not allow the creation/modification of thinly provisioned virtual disks. Use
CreateOrModifyStoragePool() for thin provisioned virtual disks.
When modifying a virtual disk:
If the ElementName parameter is not NULL the operation is failed; name changes to VirtualDisks are
not allowed.
