HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for HP integrated VMware ESXi 5.0 U1 June 2012 Profiles

20 Version 2.0.0
The Block services profile is used to model the logical storage that is presented by the Array system.
In this implementation, there will be one Primordial Pool to represent all the raw storage managed by the
Array system (HPSA_PrimordialPool). The Primordial Pool instance shall be associated to the Top Level
System via CIM_HostedStoragePool. All concrete pools will be allocated from this primordial pool. All
concrete pools shall be associated to the primordial via a CIM_AllocatedFromStoragePool. An
HPSA_StorageCapabilities instance shall be associated to each pool to indicate current capabilities for
the pool.
The instances HPSA_PrimordialPool represent raw storage managed by the array system. This instance
of HPSA_PrimordialPool is associated to the top level system (HPSA_ArraySystem) using
CIM_HostedStoragePool. Concrete pools are allocated from primordial pools (HPSA_PrimordialPool).
This is represented by instances of HPSA_StoragePool associated to the primordial pool
(HPSA_PrimordialPool) it is allocated from via instances of CIM_AllocatedFromStoragePool.
Storage Volumes (HPSA_StorageVolume) will be allocated from concrete pools (HPSA_StoragePool)
and associated them via CIM_AllocatedFromStoragePool. The current storage settings for a storage
volume are specified in the associated Storage Setting class (HPSA_StorageSetting).
HPSA_StorageSetting will be associated to the storage volume via CIM_ElementSettingData.
