to obtain the instance of the TPD_StorageSetting in order to examine the properties. If
the values are OK, then it should be used as the ‘Goal’ parameter for the
CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool method. If not, continue with the next step.
2 If you would like to change the value of some or all of the properties in the
TPD_StorageSetting instance from step 1, then you should call the ModifyInstance
method to modify them.
3 Call the CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool method with the reference to the
TPD_StorageSetting from step 1 or 2 as the Goal parameter.
 To create a volume with FC drives, use a reference to the FC StoragePool as the
InPool parameter.
 To create a volume with NL drives, use a reference to the NL StoragePool as the
InPool parameter.
 To create a thinly provisioned volume or a fully provisioned volume that allocates from
a DynamicStoragepool, use reference to DynamicStoragePool as the
InPool
parameter. For a TPVV, the ElementType parameter should also be set to
ThinlyProvisionedStorageVolume (5).
 For a fully provisioned volume, the ElementType parameter should be set to
StorageVolume(2).
 If the InPool parameter is NULL, by default, the FC drives are used to create the
volume.
 The parameter TheElement has to be NULL.
4 You can optionally call DeleteInstance on the TPD_StorageSetting instance from step
1 or 2 to delete it.
