MSFT_MaskingSet class
Represents a masking set.
A masking set is a collection of virtual disks, target ports, and initiator IDs that are used for bulk Show and Hide operations. When a resource is added to a masking set, it is made available for access to all other resources in the masking set. For example, adding a virtual disk object to a masking set will allow all initiator IDs in the masking set to access the virtual disk object.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code.
