AddInitiatorId method of the MSFT_MaskingSet class
Adds one or more initiator identifiers to the masking set.
All virtual disks in the masking set will be accessible (shown) to these initiators.
Syntax
UInt32 AddInitiatorId(
[in] String InitiatorIds[],
[in] UInt16 HostType,
[in] Boolean RunAsJob,
[out] MSFT_StorageJob REF CreatedStorageJob,
[out] String ExtendedStatus
);
Parameters
InitiatorIds [in]
Array of strings containing initiator addresses. For each address contained in this array, a corresponding MSFT_InitiatorId instance should be created and then associated with this masking set using the MSFT_MaskingSetToInitiatorId class.
This parameter is required and cannot be NULL.
HostType [in]
The host operating system or other host environmental factors that may influence the behavior that the storage system should have when showing a virtual disk to an initiator.

RunAsJob [in]
This parameter controls the asynchronous behavior the method will follow.
TRUE to use the CreatedStorageJob out parameter when the request takes a long time to service; otherwise FALSE.
If a storage job has been created to track the operation, this method will return 4096 - 'Method Parameters Checked - Job Started'. Note, even if RunAsJob is TRUE, the method can still return a result if it finishes in sufficient time.
If FALSE or NULL, this method will follow default WMI asynchronous behavior as determined by the client's method for invocation (i.e. synchronous unless requested otherwise).
CreatedStorageJob [out]
If RunAsJob is set to TRUE and this method takes a while to execute, this parameter returns a reference to the storage job used to track the long running operation.
ExtendedStatus [out]
A string that contains an embedded MSFT_StorageExtendedStatus object.
This parameter allows the storage provider to return extended (implementation-specific) error information.
Return value

Not Supported (1)
Unspecified Error (2)
Timeout (3)
Failed (4)
Invalid Parameter (5)
Access denied (40001)
There are not enough resources to complete the operation. (40002)
Cannot connect to the storage provider. (46000)
The storage provider cannot connect to the storage subsystem. (46001)
The initiator address specified is not valid (53000)
Only one initiator address is acceptable for this operation. (53001)
