| Name | Data Type | Qualifiers |
| Name | Data Type | Value | Scope | Flavors |
| ActivateBindingRequiresReset | boolean |
| Description | string | Set to true if the implementation requires the associated software element be reset. In the case of drivers, this requires a system reboot. Set to false if the implementation can activate bindings without a reset. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| AutoDiscovery | boolean |
| Description | string | Set to true if the implementation supports auto-discovery and automatic name binding; create binding methods in StorageBindingService are not supported. Set to false indicates that create binding methods are supported. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MappingStrings | string | FC API.INCITS-T11|HBA_CAN_BIND_AUTOMAP | None | None |
| CanBindAllLuns | boolean |
| Description | string | Set to true if the implementation supports OSStorageNameBinding and supports binding all logical units from a target to the OS. Set to false if not OSStorageNameBinding or if the implementation requires binding each logical unit independently. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MappingStrings | string | FC API.INCITS-T11|HBA_CAN_BIND_TARGETS | None | None |
| CanMapAddresses | boolean |
| Description | string | Set to true if the implementation supports OSStorageNameBinding and allows overriding OS bus/target/LUN numbers. Set to false if not OSStorageNameBinding or if overriding OS address is not supported. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MappingStrings | string | FC API.INCITS-T11|HBA_CAN_BIND_ANY_LUNS | None | None |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_OSStorageNameBinding.OSBusNumber, CIM_OSStorageNameBinding.OSTargetNumber, CIM_OSStorageNameBinding.OSLUN | None | None |
| CanSetOSDeviceName | boolean |
| Description | string | Set to true if the implementation supports OSStorageNameBinding method and supports changing OSDeviceName by specifying a non-null OSDeviceName parameter to CreateOSStorageNameBinding. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Caption | string |
| Description | string | The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| MaxLen | uint32 | 64 | None | None |
| Description | string |
| Description | string | The Description property provides a textual description of the object. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ElementName | string |
| Description | string | The user friendly name for this instance of Capabilities. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as a index property for a search of query. (Note: Name does not have to be unique within a namespace.) | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| Override | string | ElementName | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| Required | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false
|
| 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 |
| Key | boolean | true | None | OVERRIDABLE= false

| Override | string | InstanceID | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| ValidBindingTypes | uint16 |
