3.1.4.1.1.1 Methods with Prerequisites

Some method calls require no prerequisite calls against the server and simply query for information or pass in parameters constructed by the client. This type of method is not discussed further in the client section of this specification. For more information, see section 3.2.4.4.

Other calls are required to be made in sequence and are listed here. The prerequisite call is to an object enumeration method that retrieves information about a specific set of storage objects, such as volumes or disks. Information returned by the object enumeration method is then used to supply input parameters for subsequent calls. Calls with such prerequisites are grouped by storage object type in the following sections.
