DiskPartitions can be directly realized on a PhysicalMedia. This is used to model the creation of Partitions on a raw SCSI or IDE drive, using the fdisk (DOS and Unix) or pdisk (Unix) command. The StartingAddress of the DiskPartition on the PhysicalMedia is also specified as a property of this relationship. An alternative is that Partitions can be BasedOn StorageVolumes, such as a VolumeSet or a Volume exposed by a hardware RAID cabinet. The latter relationship is modeled using the DiskPartitionBasedOnVolume association. |

Parameters (local in grey) |
| Override ( "Dependent" ) CIM_GenericDiskPartition REF Dependent ; The DiskPartition that is located on the Media. | Max ( 1 ) Override ( "Antecedent" ) CIM_PhysicalMedia REF Antecedent ; The PhysicalMedia on which the Extent is realized. | uint64 StartingAddress ; The starting address on the PhysicalComponent where the StorageExtent begins. Ending address of the StorageExtent is determined using the NumberOfBlocks and Block Size properties of the StorageExtent object. |
