• PrivilegeDeniedSupported: false.
• ProtocolControllerRequiresAuthorizedIdentity: false;
CreateProtocolControllerWithPorts method is not supported.
• ProtocolControllerSupportsCollections: true; a collection of StorageHardwareIDs (host HBA
WWNs/iSCSNames) is supported.
• ExposePathsSupported: true; the storage system supports the ExposePaths method.
• CreateProtocolControllerSupported: false; explicit creation of SPC is not supported.
• MaximumMapCount: 0 (unlimited); a virtual volume can be exported unlimited number of
times.
• SPCAllowsNoLUs: false; clients cannot create SPC that has no associations to LUs (volumes).
• SPCAllowsNoTargets: true; a host-sees SPC might not have associations to any target port if
it is in a dormant OperationalStatus.
• SPCAllowsNoInitiators: true; a port–present SPC (port-present type) might not have associations
to any initiator port if it is in a dormant OperationalStatus.
• SPCSupportDefaultViews: false.
ControllerConfigurationService
ControllerConfigurationService (CCS) is the main class of Masking and Mapping (MM)
subprofile. This class enables clients to export and delete VLUNs. A client can get a handle of CCS
by using a HostedService association from ComputerSystem (StorageSystem).
Table 69 (page 80) provides a brief summary of the CSS methods and their corresponding CLI
commands:
