Msvm_AllocationCapabilities class
Defines the means by which a client can discover the valid range of default settings for a virtual resource. A Msvm_AllocationCapabilities object is associated with each resource pool. Four Msvm_ResourceAllocationSettingData objects are associated with the Msvm_AllocationCapabilities object to describe the minimum, maximum, default, and incremental values for the given resource's allocation. Together, these classes describe the overall range of supported capabilities.
The following syntax is simplified Managed Object Format (MOF) code, and it includes all of the inherited properties.

Properties
The Msvm_AllocationCapabilities class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)
A short description of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.
-
-
Description
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
A description of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.
-
-
ElementName
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
A display name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a display name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. The Name property of the CIM_ManagedSystemElement class is also defined as a display name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a display name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of a logical device), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.
-
-
InstanceID
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
A unique identifier for this resource pool. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.
-
-
OtherResourceType
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
A string that describes the resource type when a well-defined value is not available and ResourceType has the value "Other". This property is inherited from CIM_AllocationCapabilities.
-
-
RequestTypesSupported
-
-
Data type: uint16
-
Access type: Read-only
Indicates whether requesting a specific resource is supported. This property is inherited from CIM_AllocationCapabilities.
Value Meaning - Unknown
- 0
Unknown - Specific
- 2
The request can include a request for a specific resource. - General
- 3
The request does not include a request for a specific resource. - Both
- 4
Both specific and general requests are supported. -
-
ResourceSubType
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
A string that describes an implementation specific sub-type for this resource. For example, this may be used to distinguish different models of the same resource type. This property is inherited from CIM_AllocationCapabilities.
-
-
ResourceType
-
-
Data type: uint16
-
Access type: Read-only
The type of resource this allocation setting represents. This property is inherited from CIM_AllocationCapabilities.

-
-
Data type: uint16
-
Access type: Read-only
