.. _LMI-FileSystemCapabilities:

LMI_FileSystemCapabilities
--------------------------

Class reference
===============
Subclass of :ref:`CIM_FileSystemCapabilities <CIM-FileSystemCapabilities>`

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 *does not* provide a CreateGoal method! Use CreateSetting instead, which works similarly to LMI_StorageCapabilities.CreateSetting.

.. _LMI-FileSystemCapabilities-SupportedProperties:

``uint16[]`` **SupportedProperties**

    An array of property names of the Setting that this Capabilities element supports. The Object-related parameters are not specified because they must always be supported even if not used.

.. _LMI-FileSystemCapabilities-SupportedPersistenceTypes:

``uint16[]`` **SupportedPersistenceTypes**

    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.

    .. _LMI-FileSystemCapabilities-LMI-CreateSetting:

``uint16`` **LMI_CreateSetting** (:ref:`LMI_FileSystemSetting <LMI-FileSystemSetting>` Setting)

    Creates a supported FileSystemSetting. Caller can modify the setting via ModifyInstance intrinsic method.Unlike CIM standard CreateGoal, LMI_CreateSetting works with references to LMI_FileSystemSetting stored on the CIMOM, not with embedded instances and does not require iterating through several CreateGoal calls. The functionality is very similar to CIM_StorageCapabilities and CIM_StorageSetting.
