Versionstring2.6.0 CIM_Policy
DescriptionstringAn abstract class defining the common properties of the policy managed elements derived from CIM_Policy. The subclasses are used to create rules and groups of rules that work together to form a coherent set of policies within an administrative domain or set of domains. CIM_Policy
DescriptionstringManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema. CIM_ManagedElement

NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringA user-friendly name of this policy-related object. CIM_Policy

Property PolicyKeywords Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringAn array of keywords for characterizing / categorizing policy objects. Keywords are of one of two types: - Keywords defined in this and other MOFs, or in DMTF white papers. These keywords provide a vendor- independent, installation-independent way of characterizing policy objects. - Installation-dependent keywords for characterizing policy objects. Examples include ’ Engineering ’ , ’ Billing ’ , and ’ Review in December 2000 ’ . This MOF defines the following keywords: ’ UNKNOWN ’ , ’ CONFIGURATION ’ , ’ USAGE ’ , ’ SECURITY ’ , ’ SERVICE ’ , ’ MOTIVATIONAL ’ , ’ INSTALLATION ’ , and ’ EVENT ’ . These concepts are self-explanatory and are further discussed in the SLA/Policy White Paper. One additional keyword is defined: ’ POLICY ’ . The role of this keyword is to identify policy-related instances that may not be otherwise identifiable, in some implementations. The keyword ’ POLICY ’ is NOT mutually exclusive of the other keywords specified above. CIM_Policy

Property Description Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object. CIM_ManagedElement

Property ElementName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringA 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. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement 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 can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. CIM_ManagedElement
