DescriptionTypeProperty
Storage pools within this storage array.Sequence of StoragePoolPools
Ports provided by this storage array.Sequence of StorageArrayPortPorts
A list of host ports served by this
storage array.
Sequence of StorageArrayHostEntryHostEntries
ProductName
Each storage array has a product name, which is a string value. This value will be displayed on
array import to describe the type of array being imported, and will be displayed in the array
properties page.
Pools
Each StorageArray contains zero or more pools of storage. Storage pools are storage containers
from which volumes may be provisioned. They may be physical or virtual storage containers. Pools
within a StorageArray are represented as a sequence of StoragePool objects. While the XML
schema allows this sequence to be empty, in practice, each storage array should contain at least
one storage pool.
Ports
Each StorageArray has zero or more ports, represented as a sequence of StorageArrayPort objects.
These represent the ports through which the array connects to the SAN or servers accessing the
storage volumes. While XML allows this sequence to be empty, in practice, each storage array
should have at least one port.
HostEntries
Each StorageArray has zero or more host ports which it serves. These are represented as a sequence
of StorageArrayHostEntry objects. This list may be empty if the storage array does not currently
serve any hosts.
StoragePool
A StoragePool object represents the pool of storage available within a storage array. Like the
StorageArray object, it inherits the DisplayName, ManagementURL, and Tags elements from the
Resource class. See Resource for further discussion of those elements.
DescriptionTypeProperty
Optional unique object identifier.StringObjectID
Required unique resource identifier.StringUUID
Name used to display this resource.StringDisplayName
URL for the management interface for
this resource.
StringManagementURL
List of user-specified tags for this
resource.
Sequence of StringTags
The raw capacity of the storage pool
already subscribed.
longSubscribedCapacity
The raw capacity of the storage pool
already committed.
longCommittedCapacity
The raw physical capacity of the
storage pool.
longPhysicalCapacity
The RAID level of the storage array.StringRaidLevel
