HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) version 2.1 User Guide

“Unsupported” may be placed in the Value element of a MapItem to indicate that the RAID level
indicated in the Index element of that MapItem is not supported by the StorageArray.
RAIDLevel
NoRAID, RAID0, RAID1, RAID1+0, RAID3, RAID4, RAID5 RAID5+0, RAID6, RAID6+0
Arrays
The Arrays element of a StorageArrayDefinition contains a sequence of zero or more StorageArray
objects. StorageArray objects are described in StorageArray. Although the XML schema allows
an empty sequence of StorageArray objects, such a case is ignored by SPM. To be meaningful,
a StorageArrayDefinition should contain at least one StorageArray object. Each StorageArray
object represents one instance of the type of storage array described by the StorageArrayDefinition.
Resource
Resource objects inherit from the Entity class, and define the UUID, DisplayName, ManagementURL,
and Tags attribute. A Resource represents an entity that will be displayed and managed within
SPM, including storage arrays, storage pools, and volumes.

UUID
Each resource may have a unique identifier used to identify that resource within SPM. This is
represented as a string.
DisplayName
Each resource has a name used to display it within the SPM interface. This is represented as a
string.
ManagementURL
Each resource may have an associated URL representing the interface to a management tool for
that resource. This is represented as a string. The URL provided here will be displayed as a clickable
hyperlink within the SPM GUI, allowing navigation to an external tool used to manage the resource.
Tags
Each resource may have a number of associated tags. These are stored as a sequence of strings.
Tags are user-defined. New tags provided within an XML file are added to the set of tags known
by SPM.
StorageArray
A StorageArray object describes an instance of a class of storage arrays described by the
StorageArrayDefinition of which it is a part. StorageArray objects inherit the UUID, DisplayName,
