CIM API Programming Reference InForm OS Version 2.3.1
a Resync – Causes a snapshot to be restarted as a new PIT (Point-in-Time) image (resync
physical copy)
b Restore – Copies a snapshot to the source element (promote virtual copy)
c Detach – Removes the association between the source and replica elements (promote
physical copy)
d Start Copy – Starts a background copy operation for a replica (start copy on an existing
physical copy)
e Stop Copy – Stops a background copy operation (halting physical copy)
In addition, a new 3PAR-specific method is defined that mirrors the CLI
updatesnapspace
command:
4
UpdateDeltaSnapshotSpace() – used to start calculation of SA/SD space used by a
virtual copy snapshot volume.
5.10.2.17 TPD_StorageReplicationCapabilities
This describes the replication capability of the 3PAR CIM provider. There are 3 fixed instances
of this class, one for each type of
SupportedSynchronizationType that we support. Some
of the major properties in this class are:
1
SupportedSynchronizationType – supported values are:
a
UnSyncAssoc-Full - create a full size snapshot (physical copy with ‘Save snapshot for
later resync’ option turned on).
b
UnSyncAssoc-Delta - create a delta snapshot (virtual copy).
c
UnSyncUnAssoc - create a full size, independent replica (physical copy with ‘Save
snapshot for later resync’ option turned off).
2
SupportedAsynchronousActions[] - Enumeration indicating what operations are
executed as asynchronous jobs, supported values are:
a
Local Replica Attachment – physical copy creation is asynchronous (Attachment
means attaching a replica to an existing volume).
b
Local Replica Modification – resync physical copy is also asynchronous.
3
SupportedSynchronousActions[] - Enumeration indicating what operations are
executed the without creation of a job, supported values are:
a
Local Replica Creation – virtual copy creation is synchronous.
