Keys |
CreationClassName | string | Max = 256 | 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 | Max = 256 | The inherited Name serves as key of a System instance in an enterprise environment.
|
Writeable |
PrimaryOwnerName | string | Max = 64 | The name of the primary system owner. The system owner is the primary user of the system.
|
PrimaryOwnerContact | string | Max = 256 | A string that provides information on how the primary system owner can be reached (e.g. phone number, email address, ...).
|
Roles | string[ ] | - | An array (bag) of strings that specify the administrator -defined roles this System plays in the managed environment. Examples might be 'Building 8 print server' or 'Boise user directories'. A single system may perform multiple roles. \nNote that instrumentation's view of a System's 'roles' is defined by instantiating a specific subclass of System and/ or by properties in a subclass. For example, a ComputerSystem's purpose is defined using the Dedicated and OtherDedicatedDescription properties.
|
EnabledDefault | uint16 | Enabled Disabled Not Applicable Enabled but Offline No Default DMTF Reserved Vendor Reserved | An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default/startup configuration for an element's Enabled State. By default, the element is \"Enabled\" (value=2).
|
Read only |
NameFormat | string | Other IP Dial HID NWA HWA X25 ISDN IPX DCC ICD E.164 SNA OID/OSI WWN NAA | 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 ElementName property.
|
OtherIdentifyingInfo | string[ ] | Max = 256 | 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.
|
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.
|
Dedicated | uint16[ ] | Not Dedicated Unknown Other Storage Router Switch Layer 3 Switch Central Office Switch Hub Access Server Firewall Print I/O Web Caching Management Block Server File Server Mobile User Device Repeater Bridge/Extender Gateway | 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). \nA 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.
|
OtherDedicatedDescriptions | string[ ] | - | A string describing how or why the system is dedicated when the Dedicated array includes the value 2, \"Other\".
|
ResetCapability | uint16 | Other Unknown Disabled Enabled Not Implemented | 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).
|
PowerManagementCapabilities | uint16[ ] | Unknown Not Supported Disabled Enabled Power Saving Modes Entered Automatically Power State Settable Power Cycling Supported Timed Power On Supported | 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.
|
EnabledState | uint16 | Unknown Other Enabled Disabled Shutting Down Not Applicable Enabled but Offline In Test Deferred Quiesce Starting DMTF Reserved Vendor Reserved | EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled/disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled/disabled states: \nEnabled (2) indicates that the element is/could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests. \nDisabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests. \nShutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state. \nNot Applicable (5) indicates the element doesn't support being enabled/disabled. \nEnabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element may be completing commands, and will drop any new requests. \nTest (7) indicates that the element is in a test state. \nDeferred (8) indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will queue any new requests. \nQuiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The element's behavior is similar to the Enabled state, but it only processes a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued. \nStarting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
|
OtherEnabledState | string | - | A string describing the element's enabled/disabled state when the EnabledState property is set to 1 (\"Other\"). This property MUST be set to NULL when EnabledState is any value other than 1.
|
RequestedState | uint16 | Enabled Disabled Shut Down No Change Offline Test Deferred Quiesce Reboot Reset DMTF Reserved Vendor Reserved | RequestedState is an integer enumeration indicating the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled/disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 (\"Not Applicable\"), then this property has no meaning. By default, the element's RequestedState is 5 (\"No Change\"). Refer to the EnabledState's property Description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration. \n\nIt should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are \"Reboot\" (10) and \"Reset\" (11). The former, Reboot, refers to doing a \"Shut Down\" and then moving to an \"Enabled\" state. The latter, Reset, indicates that the element is first \"Disabled\" and then \"Enabled\". The distinction between requesting \"Shut Down\" and \"Disabled\" should also be noted. The former, Shut Down, requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and MAY involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The latter, the Disabled state, requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or processing requests. \n\nThis property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or may be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, since it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.
|
TimeOfLastStateChange | datetime | - | The date/time when the element's EnabledState last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this property is populated, then it MUST be set to a 0 interval value. If a state change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property MUST NOT be updated.
|
InstallDate | datetime | - | A datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
|
OperationalStatus | uint16[ ] | Unknown Other OK Degraded Stressed Predictive Failure Error Non-Recoverable Error Starting Stopping Stopped In Service No Contact Lost Communication Aborted Dormant Supporting Entity in Error Completed Power Mode DMTF Reserved Vendor Reserved | Indicates the current status(es) of the element. Various health and operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self- explanatory. However, a few are not and are described in more detail. \n\"Stressed\" indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of \"Stressed\" states are overload, overheated, etc. \n\"Predictive Failure\" indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. \n\"In Service\" describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered. \n\"No Contact\" indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it. \n\"Lost Communication\" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable. \n\"Stopped\" and \"Aborted\" are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the element's state and configuration may need to be updated. \n\"Dormant\" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. \n\"Supporting Entity in Error\" describes that this element may be \"OK\" but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower layer networking problems. \n\"Completed\" indicates the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error. \n\"Power Mode\" indicates the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. \nOperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/instrumentation provide BOTH the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus SHOULD contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.
|
StatusDescriptions | string[ ] | - | Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if \"Stopping\" is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.
|
Status | string | OK Error Degraded Unknown Pred Fail Starting Stopping Service Stressed NonRecover No Contact Lost Comm Stopped | A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons: 1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the Deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.
|
Caption | string | Max = 64 | The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
|
Description | string | - | The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
|
ElementName | string | - | A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name IN ADDITION TO its key properties/identity data, and description information. \nNote that ManagedSystemElement's Name property is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
