The list here applies to all StorageExtent subclasses. Please look at the Description in each subclass for guidelines on the approriate values for that subclass. Note that any of these formats could apply to a CompositeExtent. Note - this property originally touched on two concepts that are now separated into this property and NameNamespace. Values 2,3,4,5,6, and 8 are retained for backwards compatibility but are deprecated in lieu of the corresponding values in CIM_StorageExtent.NameNamespace. For example, the preferred source for SCSI virtual (RAID) disk names is from Inquiry VPD page 83 response, type 3 identifiers. These will have NameFormat set to 'NAA' and NameNamespace to 'VPD83Type3'. Format of the Name property. Values for extents representing SCSI volumes are (per SCSI SPC-3): 2 = VPD Page 83, NAA IEEE Registered Extended (VPD83NAA6) (DEPRECATED) 3 = VPD Page 83, NAA IEEE Registered (VPD83NAA5) (DEPRECATED) 4 = VPD Page 83, (VPD83Type2) (DEPRECATED) 5 = VPD Page 83, T10 Vendor Identification (VPD83Type1) (DEPRECATED) 6 = VPD Page 83, Vendor Specific (VPD83Type0) (DEPRECATED) 7 = Serial Number/Vendor/Model (SNVM) SNVM is 3 strings representing the vendor name, product name within the vendor namespace, and the serial number within the model namespace. Strings are delimited with a '+'. Spaces may be included and are significant. The serial number is the text representation of the serial number in hexadecimal upper case. This represents the vendor and model ID from SCSI Inquiry data; the vendor field MUST be 8 characters wide and the product field MUST be 16 characters wide. For example, 'ACME____+SUPER DISK______+124437458' (_ is a space character) 8 = Node WWN (for single LUN/controller) (NodeWWN) (DEPRECATED) 9 = NAA as a generic format. See http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/tutorials/fib recomp_id.html. Formatted as 16 or 32 unseparated uppercase hex characters (2 per binary byte). For example '21000020372D3C73' 10 = EUI as a generic format (EUI64) See http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/tutorials/EUI 64.html. Formatted as 16 unseparated uppercase hex characters (2 per binary byte) 11 = T10 vendor identifier format as returned by SCSI Inquiry VPD page 83, identifier type 1. See T10 SPC-3 specification. This is the 8-byte ASCII vendor ID from the T10 registry followed by a vendor specific ASCII identifier; spaces are permitted. For non SCSI volumes, 'SNVM' may be the most appropriate choice. 12 = OS Device Name (for LogicalDisks). See LogicalDisk Name description for details.
