Re: [Libvirt-cim] PoolID RASD property

The use case examples in the SVP show the PoolID set on the RASD
instances. However, setting the PoolID attribute appropriately, like
you've both mentioned, is basically a re-implementation of the
ResourceAllocationFromPool association. It seems like a waste of
processing to add it.
Jim, you says that client developers assume that this attribute is
set. Have you run into any situations where its been needed?
No, I simply had client developers ask why the property is not set in
RASDs. Understandably, they want to use it instead of invoking more CIM
operations.
IIRC this property was introduced for the "create" use cases, e.g.
AddResourceSettings, where there is no way to describe the relationship
via associations. However, once the object exists its relationship to
other CIM objects is determined via associations. I don't think RAP is
very clear in this regard, hence the questions/confusion.
