# Class CIM_StorageConfigurationCapabilities
extends 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).
