# Class CIM_FileSystemCapabilities
extends CIM_Capabilities

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 provides a CreateGoal method that can be used to create a FileSystemSetting element that can be used as a goal for creating or modifying a filesystem. This class also supports persistence and recoverability of a FileSystem and its contained elements as defined in CIM 2.8 for the use of DatabaseStorageArea.

## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
ActualFileSystemType | uint16 | 0
Description | string | An enumerated value that indicates the file system implementation type supported by this Capabilities.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_FileSystemSetting.ActualFileSystemType
ValueMap | string | 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, .., 0x8000..
Values | string | Unknown, UFS, HFS, FAT, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS4, NTFS5, XFS, AFS, EXT2, EXT3, REISERFS, WAFL, SpinFS, EMC_CMFS, EMC_CVFS, EMC_MGFS, EMC_NMFS, EMC_SVFS, EMC_UXFS, EMC_DHSM, EMC_RAWFS, EMC_IPFS, EMC_SFS, VXFS, ReFS, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Defined
SupportedObjectTypes | uint16[] |
ArrayType | string | Indexed
Description | string | An array of enumerated values that specifies the set of object types that are supported for specifying FileSystems using the CreateFileSystem extrinsic Method. This array is associated with a number of correspondingly indexed properties that specify the size and number of such objects. "inodes" indicates that the number of required inodes is specified. "files" indicates that the number of required files is specified. "directories" indicates that the number of required directories is specified. "links" indicates that the number of required links is specified. "devices" indicates that the number of required devices is specified. "files/directories" indicates that the number of required files and directories is specified. "blocks" indicates that the size of required storage in client-specific storage units is specified. This represents the desired size of available space in the filesystem, exclusive of space reserved for meta-data and for other system functions. If "blocks" is specified, the corresponding ObjectSize properties must all be the same and must specify the intended size of the blocks in bytes.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_FileSystemSetting.ObjectTypes
ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, .., 0x8000..
Values | string | inodes, files, directories, links, devices, files/directories, blocks, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Defined
SupportedOperations | uint16[] |
Description | string | An array of enumerated values representing the operations to files and directories on the file system. Set of supported operations depends on the file system type. The operation information is used as the action type in the access control management.
ValueMap | string | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, .., 0x8000..
Values | string | Read, Write, Execute, Create, Rename, Delete, Change Attribute, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved
SupportedOtherPersistenceTypes | string[] |
ArrayType | string | Indexed
Deprecated | string | CIM_FileSystemSetting.OtherPersistenceTypes
Description | string | An array of strings describing the persistence capabilities where the corresponding entry in SupportedPersistenceTypes has a value of "Other". This value is ignored in all other cases.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_FileSystemCapabilities.SupportedPersistenceTypes, CIM_FileSystem.OtherPersistenceType
SupportedPersistenceTypes | uint16[] |
ArrayType | string | Indexed
Deprecated | string | CIM_FileSystemSetting.PersistenceTypes
Description | string | 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.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_FileSystemCapabilities.SupportedPersistenceTypes, CIM_FileSystem.PersistenceType
ValueMap | string | 1, 2, 3, 4
Values | string | Other, Persistent, Temporary, External
SupportedProperties | uint16[] |
Description | string | An array of property names of the Setting that this Capabilities element supports. The Object-related parameters are specified individually by object type in the SupportedObjectTypes property. "DataExtentsSharing" indicates that the DataExtentsSharing property is supported. "CopyTarget" indicates that the CopyTarget property is supported. "FilenameCaseAttributes" indicates that the FilenameCaseAttributes property is supported. "FilenameStreamFormats" indicates that the FilenameStreamFormats property is supported. "FilenameFormats" indicates that the FilenameFormats, FilenameLengthMax, and FilenameReservedCharacterSet properties are supported. "LockingSemantics" indicates that the SupportedLockingSemantics property is supported. "AuthorizationProtocols" indicates that the SupportedAuthorizationProtocols property is supported. "AuthenticationProtocols" indicates that the SupportedAuthenticationProtocols property is supported. "Persistence" indicates that the PersistenceTypes and OtherPersistenceTypes properties are supported.
ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, .., 0x8000..
Values | string | DataExtentsSharing, CopyTarget, FilenameCaseAttributes, FilenameStreamFormats, FilenameFormats, LockingSemantics, AuthorizationProtocols, AuthenticationProtocols, Persistence, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Defined
