LMI_FileSystemCapabilities

Class reference

Subclass of CIM_FileSystemCapabilities

FileSystemCapabilities specifies the combination of properties that a FileSystemService can support when creating or maintaining FileSystems. Each supported combination of properties is specified by a FileSystemSetting that is associated with the FileSystemCapabilities element via ElementSettingData.

A FileSystemCapabilities element specifies the properties supported when using it.

This class does not provide a CreateGoal method! Use CreateSetting instead, which works similarly to LMI_StorageCapabilities.CreateSetting.

Key properties

uint16[] SupportedProperties

An array of property names of the Setting that this Capabilities element supports. The Object-related parameters are not specified because they must always be supported even if not used.

uint16[] SupportedPersistenceTypes

Deprecated! An array of enumerated values representing the persistence capabilities of the FileSystem. A value of “Persistent” indicates that the FileSystem supports persistence, can be preserved through an orderly shutdown and could be protected. A value of “Temporary” indicates that the FileSystem supports non-persistence, may not be protected and may not survive a shutdown. A value of “External” indicates that the FileSystem could controlled outside of the operating environment and may need to be protected by specialized means. A value of “Other” is provided to allow for additional persistence types, to be described in the OtherPersistenceType attribute, and is expected to be rarely, if ever, used.

Local methods

uint16 LMI_CreateSetting (LMI_FileSystemSetting Setting)

Creates a supported FileSystemSetting. Caller can modify the setting via ModifyInstance intrinsic method.Unlike CIM standard CreateGoal, LMI_CreateSetting works with references to LMI_FileSystemSetting stored on the CIMOM, not with embedded instances and does not require iterating through several CreateGoal calls. The functionality is very similar to CIM_StorageCapabilities and CIM_StorageSetting.
