CreationClassName
|
string
|
|
CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified. |
Name
|
string
|
|
The inherited Name serves as the key of a System instance in an enterprise environment. |

Enumeration indicating whether the ComputerSystem is a special-purpose System (ie, dedicated to a particular use), versus being'general purpose'. For example, one could specify that the System is dedicated to"Print"(value=11) or acts as a"Hub"(value=8).A clarification is needed with respect to the value 17 ("Mobile User Device"). An example of a dedicated user device is a mobile phone or a barcode scanner in a store that communicates via radio frequency. These systems are quite limited in functionality and programmability, and are not considered'general purpose'computing platforms. Alternately, an example of a mobile system that is'general purpose'(i.e., is NOT dedicated) is a hand-held computer. Although limited in its programmability, new software can be downloaded and its functionality expanded by the user.A value of"Management"indicates this instance is dedicated to hosting system management software.A value of"Management Controller"indicates this instance represents specialized hardware dedicated to systems management (i.e., a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or service processor).The management scope of a"Management Controller"is typically a single managed system in which it is contained.A value of"Chassis Manager"indicates this instance represents a system dedicated to management of a blade chassis and its contained devices. This value would be used to represent a Shelf Controller. A"Chassis Manager"is an aggregation point for management and may rely on subordinate management controllers for the management of constituent parts. |
IdentifyingDescriptions
|
string
|
|
An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in the OtherIdentifying Info array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in OtherIdentifyingInfo that is located at the same index. |
NameFormat
|
string
|
|
The ComputerSystem object and its derivatives are Top Level Objects of CIM. They provide the scope for numerous components. Having unique System keys is required. The NameFormat property identifies how the ComputerSystem Name is generated. The NameFormat ValueMap qualifier defines the various mechanisms for assigning the name. Note that another name can be assigned and used for the ComputerSystem that better suit a business, using the inherited ElementNameproperty. |
OtherDedicatedDescriptions
|
string
|
|
A string describing how or why the system is dedicated when the Dedicated array includes the value 2,"Other". |
OtherIdentifyingInfo
|
string
|
|
OtherIdentifyingInfo captures additional data, beyond System Name information, that could be used to identify a ComputerSystem. One example would be to hold the Fibre Channel World-Wide Name (WWN) of a node. Note that if only the Fibre Channel name is available and is unique (able to be used as the System key), then this property would be NULL and the WWN would become the System key, its data placed in the Name property. |
PowerManagementCapabilities

Unknown | 0 |
Not Supported | 1 |
Disabled | 2 |
Enabled | 3 |
Power Saving Modes Entered Automatically | 4 |
Power State Settable | 5 |
Power Cycling Supported | 6 |
Timed Power On Supported | 7 |
|
An enumerated array describing the power management capabilities of the ComputerSystem. The use of this property has been deprecated. Instead, the Power Capabilites property in an associated PowerManagement Capabilities class should be used. |
ResetCapability
|
uint16
|
Other | 1 |
Unknown | 2 |
Disabled | 3 |
Enabled | 4 |
Not Implemented | 5 |
|
If enabled (value = 4), the ComputerSystem can be reset via hardware (e.g. the power and reset buttons). If disabled (value = 3), hardware reset is not allowed. In addition to Enabled and Disabled, other Values for the property are also defined -"Not Implemented"(5),"Other"(1) and"Unknown"(2). |
