Name
The name element is a string representing the name of this storage array port. This name will be
used to identify this StorageArray within SPM.
StorageArrayHostEndpoint
This type inherits from the NetworkEndpoint type. It represents the ports on the array, and has no
elements of its own.
StorageArrayHostEntry
A StorageArrayHostEntry represents a host known to SPM and served storage by the StorageArray
referring to this object. StorageArrayHostEntry inherits from Entity.
DescriptionTypeProperty
Optional object unique identifier.StringObjectID
The name of the host to be connected.StringName
The hostmode for the host.StringHostmode
A list of the host endpoints served by
this storage array.
Sequence of
StorageArrayHostEndpoint
HostEndpoints
Name
Each StorageArrayHostEntry has a name, represented by a string, which is the name of the host.
This will be displayed in SPM to identify this host.
Hostmode
Each StorageArrayHostEntry has a string representing the hostmode for the host. The value here
must also be present as a value in the HostmodeMap stored in the StorageArrayDefinition.
HostEndpoints
A list of the StorageArrayHostEndpoints associated with each host entry.
MapItem
MapItem objects allow StorageArrayDefinitions to contain associative lists. They contain two
elements, an Index and a Value.
DescriptionTypeProperty
The search key in the associative list.StringIndex
The value associated with the search
key.
StringValue
Example unmanaged array xml
In this section we provided an annotated example of an XML file representing an unmanaged
array. The example is provided in Courier font. Annotations are provided within the example
as normal font.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<StorageArrayDefinition xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
Every XML document must begin with the XML element indicating the XML version and the character
encoding. Every Unmanaged Array XML file must begin with the StorageArrayDefinition root
element. This example specifies two namespaces for use within this XML file, one for the
XMLSchema-instance schema, and a second for the schema schema.
