Method parameters
IN/OUT Comments Type Parameter
Name
IN
If this parameter is NULL, a name is chosen unique to
the system on which the virtual disk will reside.
string ElementName
IN
On create virtual disk operations, allow only Element-
Type = 2 (Storage VirtualDisk). On modify operations
the ElementType must be specified and match the type
represented by TheElement. Note: The VSM does not
currently support thin provisioning across multiple
storage pools.
uint16 ElementType
OUT Set this parameter to NULL (not used).
CIM_ConcreteJob
REF
Job
IN
Accepted only if it is NULL, or if the passed in Storage-
Setting reference represents any setting instance of
SNIA_StorageSetting, as long as the following criteria
is met:
• DataRedundancy = 1
• PackageRedundancy = 0
• ExtentStripeLengthMin = 1
• UserDataStripeDepthMin = 1
SNIA_StorageSet-
ting
Goal
IN
The desired size of the virtual disk. Fail the operation
if NULL.
unit64[] Sizes
IN-Required A reference array to valid HPSVSP_ConfiguredPools.
HPSVSP_Configured-
Pool REF[]
InPools
OUT The size achieved. uint64 AchievedSize
IN/OUT
As an in parameter: If NULL, then this is a create op-
eration. If not NULL, this is a modify operation.
As an out parameter: A reference to the
HPSVSP_VirtualDisk created.

Method Overview
This method is used to create StripeSet StorageExtents.
If the TheElement parameter is NULL, then this method serves as a Create operation, otherwise, this
method serves as a Modify operation.
1. Create StripeSet
StripeSets can be created by specifying the unconfigured HPSVSP_ImportedExtent.
• The InElements parameter must contain one or more HPSVSP_ImportedExtent representing
unconfigured DiskDetails.
• Size parameter is ignored (the implementation relies on the ImportedExtents parameter).
