| Generation | uint64 |
| Description | string | Generation is an optional, monotonically increasing property that may be used to identify a particular generation of the resource represented by this class.
If Generation is supported by the implementation, its value shall not be null.
Except as otherwise specified, a value (including null) of Generation specified at creation time shall be replaced by null if Generation is not supported by the implementation or shall be a, (possibly different), non-null value if the implementation does support Generation.
After creation and if supported, Generation shall be updated, at least once per access, whenever the represented resource is modified, regardless of the source of the modification.
Note: the Generation value only needs to be updated once between references, even if the resource is updated many times. The key point is to assure that it will be different if there have been updates, not to count each update.
Note: unless otherwise specified, the value of Generation within one instance is not required to be coordinated with the value of Generation in any other instance.
Note:the semantics of the instance, (as defined by its creation class), define the underlying resource. That underlying resource may be a collection or aggregation of resources. And, in that case, the semantics of the instance further define when updates to constituent resources also require updates to the Generation of the collective resource. Default behavior of composite aggregations should be to update the Generation of the composite whenever the Generation of a component is updated.
Subclasses may define additional requirements for updates on some or all of related instances.
For a particular instance, the value of Generation may wrap through zero, but the elapsed time between wraps shall be greater than 10's of years.
This class does not require Generation to be unique across instances of other classes nor across instances of the same class that have different keys. Generation shall be different across power cycles, resets, or reboots if any of those actions results in an update. Generation may be different across power cycles, resets, or reboots if those actions do not result in an update. If the Generation property of an instance is non-null, and if any attempt to update the instance includes the Generation property, then if it doesn't match the current value, the update shall fail.
The usage of this property is intended to be further specified by applicable management profiles.
Typically, a client will read the value of this property and then supply that value as input to an operation that modifies the instance in some means. This may be via an explicit parameter in an extrinsic method or via an embedded value in an extrinsic method or intrinsic operation.
For example: a profile may require that an intrinsic instance modification supply the Generation property and that it must match for the modification to succeed. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Experimental | boolean | true | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| InstanceID | string |
| Description | string | Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm:
<OrgID>:<LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace.
For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

| Deprecated | string | CIM_FileSystemSetting.OtherPersistenceTypes | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| Description | string | An array of strings describing the persistence capabilities where the corresponding entry in SupportedPersistenceTypes has a value of "Other". This value is ignored in all other cases. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

| SupportedPersistenceTypes | uint16 |
| ArrayType | string | Indexed | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| Deprecated | string | CIM_FileSystemSetting.PersistenceTypes | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| Description | string | 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. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

| CreateGoal() | uint16 |
| Description | string | Start a job to create a supported FileSystemSetting from a FileSystemSetting provided by the caller. If the operation completes successfully and did not require a long-running ConcreteJob, it will return 0. If 4096/0x1000 is returned, a ConcreteJob will be started to create the element. A Reference to the ConcreteJob will be returned in the output parameter Job.
This method MAY return a CIM_Error representing that a single named property of a setting (or other) parameter (either reference or embedded object) has an invalid value or that an invalid combination of named properties of a setting (or other) parameter (either reference or embedded object) has been requested.
If the input TemplateGoal is NULL or the empty string, this method returns a default FileSystemSetting that is supported by this FileSystemCapabilities.
The output is returned as the SupportedGoal parameter. Both TemplateGoal and SupportedGoal are embedded objects and do not exist in the provider but are maintained by the client.
If the TemplateGoal specifies values that cannot be supported this method MUST return an appropriate error and should return a best match for a SupportedGoal. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

| Values | string | Job Completed with No Error, Not Supported, Unknown, Timeout, Failed, Invalid Parameter, TemplateGoal is not well-formed, TemplateGoal cannot be satisfied exactly, StorageSetting cannot be used with ActualFileSystemType, StorageSetting cannot be used with CopyTarget, StorageSetting cannot be used with ObjectType, DMTF Reserved, Method Parameters Checked - Job Started, Method Reserved, Vendor Specific | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| GetRequiredStorageSize() | uint64 |
| Description | string | This method returns the "expected" size of StorageExtent that would support a file system specified by the input FileSystemGoal parameter assuming that the other settings for the StorageExtent are specified by the ExtentSetting parameter.
If the input FileSystemGoal or the ExtentSetting are NULL, this method returns a value computed by using the default FileSystemSetting or some vendor-specific canned StorageSetting.
A value of 0 is returned if this method is not able to determine a reasonable size or does not restrict sizes based on setting information. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Experimental | boolean | true | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| PUnit | string | byte | None | None |
| Units | string | Bytes | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
