DescriptionTypeProperty
Association between raid levels and the
amount of logical free space when
using that raid level.
Sequence of MapItemDeviceRaidSpecificAvailableCapacity
Volumes contained within this storage
pool.
Sequence of VolumeVolumes
CommittedCapacity
The CommittedCapacity of a StoragePool is represented by a long integer. It represents the number
of bytes of storage from the pool allocated to volumes within the pool. It should be equal to the
sum of the capacities of the volumes provisioned from the pool.
DeviceRaidSpecificAvailableCapacity
DeviceRaidSpecificAvailableCapacity is a list of MapItems. This mapping associates device raid
levels with the available free space that may be allocated at that raid level. Raid levels within this
mapping should correspond to Raid levels stored in the RAIDMap element value field of the
StorageArrayDefinition. Raid levels specified in the DeviceRaidSpecificAvailableCapacity may be
a subset of those present in the StorageArrayDefinition’s RAIDMap if the pool does not support all
raid levels supported by the device.
PhysicalCapacity
The PhysicalCapacity of a StoragePool is represented by a long integer. It represents maximum
amount of storage provisionable from the pool in bytes, and should be equal to the pool’s committed
capacity plus its free space.
RaidLevel
The RaidLevel of a StoragePool is represented by a string. This string is an identifier representing
the raid level as understood by the device. This value will be mapped to an identifier understood
by SPM using the RAIDMap stored in the StorageArrayDefinition. A StoragePool should only have
a RaidLevel element if all volumes from the pool will be of this RAIDLevel.
SubscribedCapacity
The SubscribedCapacity of a StoragePool is represented by a long integer. It represents the number
of bytes of storage promised from the pool to volumes provisioned from the pool. It may be greater
than the pool’s physical capacity if the pool is oversubscribed. It should be greater than or equal
to the pool’s committed capacity.
Volumes
The volumes that a StoragePool contains are specified as a sequence of Volume objects. This list
may be empty if no volumes have been allocated within the pool represented by this StoragePool.
Volume
Each Volume object represents a volume within a StoragePool. Like the StorageArray object, it
inherits the DisplayName, ManagementURL, and Tags elements from the Resource class. See
Resource for discussion of those elements.
