An explicit operation is required to allocate the resource. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| AutomaticDeallocation | boolean |
| Description | string | This property specifies if the resource will be automatically de-allocated. For example, when set to true, when the consuming virtual computer system is powered off, this resource would be de-allocated.

| HostExtentStartingAddress | uint64 |
| Description | string | The HostExtentStartingAddress property identifies the starting address on the host storage extent identified by the value of the HostExtentName property that is used for the allocation of the virtual storage extent.
A value of NULL indicates that there is no direct mapping of the virtual storage extent onto the referenced host storage extent.
NOTE: This property is a copy of the CIM_BasedOn.StartingAddess property. See the description of CIM_BasedOn association for details. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_StorageAllocationSettingData.HostResourceBlockSize, CIM_BasedOn.StartingAddress | None | None |
| HostResource | string |
| Description | string | This property exposes specific assignment of resources. Each non-null value of the HostResource property shall be formated as a URI per RFC3986.
If this resource is modeled then a value should be a WBEM URI (DSP0207). If the resource is not modeled then see the appropriate profile.
Profiles may further constrain the type of URI. A NULL value or empty array requests the implementation decide the kind of host resource.
If the virtual resource is mapped to more than oneunderlying resource, this property may be left NULL.
If NULL, the DeviceAllocatedFromPool or ResourceAllocationFromPool associations may be used to determine the pool of host resources this virtual resource may use. If specific assignment is utilized, all underlying resources used by this virtual resource should be listed.The kind of dependency is specified by the ConsumerVisibility and the MappingBehavior properties. Typically the array contains one item, however multiple host resources may be specified.
A client may set the value(s) to indicate that the requested virtual resource allocation be based on host resources that are identified by element values. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

If the block size is variable, then the maximum block size in bytes should be specified. If the block size is unknown or if a block concept does not apply, then the value 1 shall be used.
NOTE: This property is a copy of the CIM_StorageExtent.BlockSize property. See the description of the CIM_StorageExtent.BlockSize property for details. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_StorageExtent.BlockSize | None | None |
| PUnit | string | byte | None | None |
| InstanceID | string |
| Description | string | Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. 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 that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement 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 reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance.
For DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |

|
| Override | string | InstanceID | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| Limit | uint64 |
| Description | string | The maximum amount of blocks that will be granted for this storage resource allocation at the host. The blocksize is specified by the value of the HostResourceBlockSize property.Usually the value this property would reflect a maximum size for the allocated host extent that matches the size of the virtual storage extent presented to the consumer. A value less than that would indicate a situation where a sparsely populated virtual storage extent is expected, where the fill rate is limited by the value of the Limit property. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_StorageAllocationSettingData.HostResourceBlockSize | None | None |
| Override | string | Limit | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| MappingBehavior | uint16 |

| Override | string | Reservation | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| ResourceSubType | string |
| Description | string | A string describing an implementation specific sub-type for this resource. For example, this may be used to distinguish different models of the same resource type.The property value shall conform to this format (in ABNF): vs-type = dmtf-value / other-org-value / legacy-value dmtf-value = "DMTF:" defining-org ":" org-vs-type org-value = defining-org ":" org-vs-type
Where: dmtf-value: is a property value defined by DMTF and is defined in the description of this property. other-org-value: is a property value defined by a business entity other than DMTF and is not defined in the description of this property. legacy-value: is a property value defined by a business entity other than DMTF and is not defined in the description of this property. These values are permitted but recommended to be deprecated over time. defining-org:
is an identifier for the business entity that defines the virtual system type. It shall include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by that business entity. It shall not be "DMTF" and shall not contain a colon (:). org-vs-type:
is an identifier for the virtual system type within the defining business entity. It shall be unique within the defining-org. It may use any character allowed for CIM strings, except for the following: U0000-U001F (Unicode C0 controls) U0020 (space), note that the reason is that OVF allows for multiple space-separated vs-type values in this property. U007F (Unicode C0 controls) U0080-U009F (Unicode C1 controls)
If there is a need to structure the value into segments, the segments should be separated with a single colon (:).
The values of this property shall be processed case sensitively. They are intended to be processed programmatically (instead of being a display name) and should be short.
The following DMTF values are defined: DMTF:unknown - the resource sub-type is unknown or cannot be determined
Developers should consult the relevant profile for defined values. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.ResourceType | None | None |

| VirtualQuantity | uint64 |
| Description | string | Number of blocks that are presented to the consumer. The blocksize is specified by the value of the VirtualResourceBlockSize property. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_StorageExtent.NumberOfBlocks, CIM_StorageAllocationSettingData.VirtualQuantityUnits | None | None |
| Override | string | VirtualQuantity | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| VirtualQuantityUnits | string |
| Description | string | This property specifies the units used by the VirtualQuantity property. The value shall match "count(fixed size block)" | "byte".
The default value "count(fixed size block)" assumes that the implementation knows a fixed block size and conveys the block size through the value of the VirtualResourceBlockSize property. However, if the VirtualResourceBlockSize property has a value "1", this indicates an unknown or variable block size; in this case the value of the VirtualQuantityUnit property should be set to "byte", such that the value of the VirtualQuantity property is measured directly in byte.
NOTE: The IsPUnit qualifier already formally restricts the value of this property to be a unit as specified in DMTF DSP0004:2.5.0, Annex C; in addition, the normative text in the description of this property above further constrains the value to match "byte" | "count(fixed size block)". | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| IsPUnit | boolean | true | None | None |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_StorageAllocationSettingData.VirtualQuantity | None | None |
| Override | string | VirtualQuantityUnits | TOSUBCLASS= false | None |
| VirtualResourceBlockSize | uint64 |
| Description | string | Size in bytes of the blocks that are presented to the consumer as the result of this storage resource allocation or storage resource allocation request. If the block size is variable, then the maximum block size in bytes should be specified. If the block size is unknown or if a block concept does not apply, then the value 1 shall be used.
NOTE: The use of 1 (and not 0) to indicate that the blocksize is unknown still allows the use of the VirtualQuantity property to convey the size in blocks of size 1).
NOTE: This property is a copy of the CIM_StorageExtent.BlockSize property. See the description of the CIM_StorageExtent.BlockSize property for details. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
| ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_StorageExtent.BlockSize | None | None |
| PUnit | string | byte | None | None |
| Weight | uint32 |
| Description | string | This property specifies a relative priority for this allocation in relation to other allocations from the same ResourcePool. This property has no unit of measure, and is only relevant when compared to other allocations vying for the same host resources. | None | TRANSLATABLE= true |
