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.

Methods
The Msvm_AllocationCapabilities class has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| CreateGoalSettings | Creates a set of supported SettingData elements, from two sets of SettingData elements, provided by the caller. This method is inherited from CIM_Capabilities. |
Properties
The Msvm_AllocationCapabilities class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)
A short textual description of the object. Currently set to "Microsoft Virtual Machine Resource Pool Allocation Capabilities".
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

Description
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
A textual description of the object. Currently set to "Microsoft Virtual Machine Resource Pool Allocation Capabilities"
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.
-
-
ElementName
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Required
The user friendly name for this class instance. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as a index property for a query. This value does not have to be unique within its namespace.
This property is inherited from CIM_Capabilities.
-
-
InstanceID
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Key
Uniquely and opaquely identifies an instance of this class within the scope of the containing namespace.
[!Important]
In order to ensure uniqueness within the namespace, the value of the InstanceID property should be constructed in the following pattern: OrgID:LocalID
OrgID must include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that defines the InstanceID, or be a registered ID that is assigned by a recognized global authority. This pattern is similar to the structure of schema class names. In addition, to ensure uniqueness, the first colon in InstanceID must be between the OrgID andLocalID. Therefore the OrgID must not contain a colon (':').
LocalID is chosen by the business entity and should not be re-used to identify different underlying real-world elements.
If the above pattern is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resultant InstanceID value is not re-used across any InstanceID properties that are produced by this provider or other providers for this namespace.
For Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) defined instances, the pattern must be used with the OrgID set to CIM.
This property is inherited from CIM_Capabilities.
