Storage Statement
The storage statement provides management applications with information
about the attribute to assist in optimizing storage requirements. Only one
storage statement is allowed per attribute definition.
The syntax for the storage statement is:
storage = type
type can be one of the following:
Common
The value of the attribute is typically limited
to a small set of possibilities, such as the clock speed of a CPU or the
name of a manufacturer.
Specific
The
value of the attribute can be one of a large number of different values,
such as the serial number of a device or a timestamp value. Values that
have a storage type of specific are generally not suited for optimization.
If the storage statement is not specified on the attribute definition, the
default storage type for the attribute is specific.
