Reference to the created instance of a dis-
tinct operation-specific subclass of
SNIA_Synchronized between the source
and the target element.

Created ConcreteJob instance depending
on the type of operation created:
• Snapclone, migration, or Asynchronous
Mirroring: <HPSVSP>MultiAppJob-
Group.
• Note that an instance of
<HPSVSP>MultiAppConcreteJob is
also created to represent the first
MultiApp job.
• Synchronous Mirroring: HPSVSP_Syn-
cMirrorJobGroup
• Note that an instances of
<HPSVSP>SyncMirrorConcreteJob
are also created to represent the
first two synchronous mirror jobs.

Method overview
This method allows a client to create (or start a task to create) a new group of storage objects which
are replicas of the specified source storage or a group of source storage objects (SourceElements).
This method is used to affect the following VSM operations:
• Create a snapclone group for a virtual disk group or virtual disk group snapshot with first snapclone
job. The pool for the target group may be in the local SVSP domain or a remote SVSP domain.
• Create a migration group with MigrationJob for a virtual disk group. The pool for the target group
is in the local SVSP domain only.
• Create an asynchronous mirror group for a virtual disk group with first MirroringJob. The pool for
the target group may be in the local SVSP domain or a remote SVSP domain.
For the MultiApp operations, an instance of a distinct subclass of SynchronizationAspect is created
to represent the MultiApp group together with an instance of SettingsDefineState associating it to the
source group. An instance of a distinct subclass of SNIA_GroupSynchronized is created to represent
the first Multi-App job and associates the source group with the created instance of
HPSVSP_VirtualDiskGroup : SNIA_ReplicationGroup, which in turn aggregates created instances of
HPSVSP_VirtualDisk : CIM_StorageVirtualDisk. Instances of SNIA_StorageSynchronized are created
to associate each individual source object in the source group with its corresponding target object in
the target group.
Supported return values:
• 0 (Success)
• 1 (Not Supported)
• 4 (Failed)
• 5 (Invalid Parameter).
