CIM_StorageConfigurationCapabilities Superclass: CIM_Capabilities
A subclass of Capabilities that defines the Capabilities of a StorageConfigurationService. An instance of StorageConfigurationCapabilities is associated with a StorageConfigurationService using ElementCapabilities. The properties in this class specify the envelope of capabilites for storage configuration in the context of the Service or Pool with which the instance is associated. These properties correspond to the properties of the same base names in StorageSetting and StorageSettingWithHints when either is used as a goal parameter to the StorageConfigurationService methods (CreateOrModifyStoragePool, CreateOrModifyElementFromStoragePool, or CreateOrModifyElementFromElements).

Required
Override ( "ElementName" )
string ElementName ;
The user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as a index property for a search of query. (Note: Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.)
Key
string InstanceID ;
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm:
<OrgID>:<LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace.
For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.

string Caption ;
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
string Description ;
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
