### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
MaxCompositeElements | uint64 |
Description | string | Indicates the most elements that can be combined into a composite element. Set to 0 if this information is not known, or MaxCompositeElements is unlimited.
MaxCompositeSize | uint64 |
Description | string | Indicates the Largest composite element that can be created in bytes. Set to 0 if this information is not known, or MaxCompositeSize is unlimited.
PUNIT | string | byte
SupportsCompositeNaming | boolean | false
Description | string | Does the instrumentation support naming the composite element.
SupportsComposites | boolean | false
Description | string | Indicates if instrumentation supports composite elements.
SupportsRepresentativeElement | boolean |
Description | string | Does the instrumentation allow the user to specify the RepresentativeElement in CreateOrModifyComposite.
CompositeSourcesSupported | uint16[] |
Description | string | Indicates which sources for elements are supported. Possible values are: 1. Use existing elements only 2. Create new elements only 3. Can use existing or create new or both 4. Instrumentation decides.
ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, .., 32768..65535
Values | string | Use existing, Create new, Use and create, Instrumentation decides, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved
CompositionCharacteristics | uint16[] |
Description | string | Composition characteristics supported by this system. Description of values: - CompositionIsDestructive - any data that exists on the elements will be destroyed when the composite is created - CanCompositeComposites - it is possible to use an existing composite as an element to a new composite - CanModifyComposite - An existing composite can be modified by adding or removing one or more elements - CompositeElementsMustBeSameSize - all elements used to create/modify a composite must be the same size - CompositeElementsMustBeSameRAID/QoS - all elements used to create/modify a composite must have the same RAID or QoS level - DecompositionDeletesElements - When the composite is dissolved the component elments (e.g. StorageVolumes) are deleted - CanAddToComposite - Elements can be added to a composite in any position - CanAppendToComposite - Elements can only be added at the end of a composite - CanRemoveFromComposite - Elements can be removed from a composite - CompositeAdditionIsDestructive - Adding elements to a composite results in loss of data - CompositeRemovalIsDestructive - Removing elements from a composite results in loss of data - CompositeAdditionCanPreserveData- Adding elements to a composite can preserve data - CompositionCanPreserveData - Any data that exists on the elements can be preserved when the composite is created.
ValueMap | string | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, .., 32768..65535

Values | string | StorageVolume, LogicalDisk, ThinStorageVolume, LocalMirror, ThinLocalMirror, LocalSnap, ThinLocalSnap, ThinLocalMirrorPersistent, FullyProvisionedStorageVolume, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved
SupportedSynchronousActions | uint16[] |
Description | string | Enumeration indicating what operations will be executed without the creation of a job. If an operation is included in both this and SupportedAsynchronousActions then the underlying instrumentation is indicating that it may or may not create a job.
