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

Version 2.1.0 13
In this implementation, there will be two Primordial Pools to represent all the raw storage managed by the
Array system. One Primordial Pool models all the drives that are currently configured in RAID sets. The
other Primordial Pool models any drives that are not configured as part of a RAID set, in which case the
controller will map these drives to the OS as SCSI devices.
The Primordial Pool instances shall be associated to the Top Level System via CIM_HostedStoragePool.
All concrete pools will be allocated from the primordial pool for RAID drives. All the concrete pools shall
be associated to this primordial pool via a CIM_AllocatedFromStoragePool. An
HPSAS_StorageCapabilities instance shall be associated to each pool to indicate current capabilities for
the pool.
Instances of HPSAS_PrimordialPool represent raw storage managed by the array system. Instances of
HPSAS_Primordialpool are associated to the top level system (HPSAS_ArraySystem) using
CIM_HostedStoragePool. Concrete pools are allocated from primordial pools (HPSAS_PrimordialPool).
This is represented by instances of HPSAS_StoragePool associated to the primordial pool
(HPSAS_PrimordialPool) it is allocated from via instances of CIM_AllocatedFromStoragePool
Storage Volumes (HPSAS_StorageVolume) will be allocated from concrete pools (HPSAS_StoragePool)
and associated to them via CIM_AllocatedFromStoragePool. The current storage settings for a storage
volume are specified in the associated Storage Setting class (HPSAS_StorageSetting).
HPSAS_StorageSetting will be associated to the storage volume via CIM_ElementSettingData.
Disks that are not in any RAID configurations will be modeled as HPSAS_StorageExtent and associated
to an HPSAS_PrimordialPoolNonRaid instance via CIM_ConcreteComponent. The
HPSAS_StorageCapabilities for this Pool show DataRedundancyMax is one and
PackageRedundancyMax is zero, indicating no redundancy available.
Note that if all the disks connected to a HBA are configured to be part of RAID sets,
HPSAS_PrimordialPoolNonRaid instance shall not be created. Vice versa, if none of the disks are in any
RAID configurations, HPSAS_PrimordialPool instance shall not be created.
