CIM_DiskGroup Superclass: CIM_CollectionOfMSEs
A DiskGroup is a named collection of DiskDrives and the StorageExtents accessed using those Drives. The collection is used to limit the BasedOn relationships of the Extents in the DiskGroup. Extents in the Group cannot be BasedOn storage accessed from Drives outside of the Group. For example, a SoftwareVolume created within the DiskGroup is restricted to be completely accessed using Drives in the Group. Actions such as replicate or migrate on an Extent must operate within the scope of the Extents that are present in the DiskGroup.

Parameters (local in grey)
Key
Override ( "CollectionID" )
string CollectionID ;
string ElementName ;
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.
Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
MaxLen ( 64 )
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.
