Description

SystemSpecificCollection represents the general concept of a collection which is scoped (or contained) by a System. It represents a Collection that only has meaning in the context of a System, and/or whose elements are restricted by the definition of the System. This is explicitly described by the (required) association, HostedCollection. \nAn example of a SystemSpecificCollection is a Fibre Channel zone that collects network ports, port groupings and aliases (as required by a customer) in the context of an AdminDomain. The Collection is not a part of the domain, but merely an arbitrary grouping of the devices and other Collections in the domain. In other words, the context of the Collection is restricted to the domain, and its members are also limited by the domain.

Properties

IdTypeRangeDescription
Keys
InstanceIDstring-Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: \n<OrgID>:<LocalID> \nWhere <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. \n<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. \nFor DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.  
Read only
CaptionstringMax = 64The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.  
Descriptionstring-The Description property provides a textual description of the object.  
ElementNamestring-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.
