Class CIM_PolicySet Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Abstract boolean true CIM_PolicySet Version string 2.8.0 CIM_PolicySet Description string PolicySet is an abstract class that represents a set of policies that form a coherent set. The set of contained policies has a common decision strategy and a common set of policy roles (defined via the PolicySetInRole Collection association). Subclasses include PolicyGroup and PolicyRule. CIM_PolicySet Description string An 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 Description string ManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema.

Property PolicyDecisionStrategy Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string PolicyDecisionStrategy defines the evaluation method used for policies contained in the PolicySet. There are two values currently defined: - ’ First Matching ’ (1) executes the actions of the first rule whose conditions evaluate to TRUE. The concept of ’ first ’ is determined by examining the priority of the rule within the policy set (i.e., by examining the property, PolicySetComponent.Priority). Note that this ordering property MUST be maintained when processing the PolicyDecisionStrategy. - ’ All ’ (2) executes the actions of ALL rules whose conditions evaluate to TRUE, in the set. As noted above, the order of processing of the rules is defined by the property, PolicySetComponent.Priority (and within a rule, the ordering of the actions is defined by the property, PolicyActionStructure.ActionOrder). Note that when this strategy is defined, processing MUST be completed of ALL rules whose conditions evaluate to TRUE, regardless of errors in the execution of the rule actions.

Property PolicyRoles Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The PolicyRoles property represents the roles associated with a PolicySet. All contained PolicySet instances inherit the values of the PolicyRoles of the aggregating PolicySet but the values are not copied. A contained PolicySet instance may, however, add additional PolicyRoles to those it inherits from its aggregating PolicySet(s). Each value in PolicyRoles multi-valued property represents a role for which the PolicySet applies, i.e., the PolicySet should be used by any enforcement point that assumes any of the listed PolicyRoles values. Although not officially designated as ’ role combinations ’ , multiple roles may be specified using the form: < RoleName > [ & & < RoleName > ]* where the individual role names appear in alphabetical order (according to the collating sequence for UCS-2). Implementations may treat PolicyRoles values that are specified as ’ role combinations ’ as simple strings. This property is deprecated in lieu of the use of an association, CIM_PolicySetInRoleCollection. The latter is a more explicit and less error-prone approach to modeling that a PolicySet has one or more PolicyRoles. CIM_PolicySet
Property Enabled Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Indicates whether this PolicySet is administratively enabled, administratively disabled, or enabled for debug. The " EnabledForDebug " property value is deprecated and, when it or any value not understood by the receiver is specified, the receiving enforcement point treats the PolicySet as " Disabled " . To determine if a PolicySet is " Enabled " , the containment hierarchy specified by the PolicySetComponent aggregation is examined and the Enabled property values of the hierarchy are ANDed together. Thus, for example, everything aggregated by a PolicyGroup may be disabled by setting the Enabled property in the PolicyGroup instance to " Disabled " without changing the Enabled property values of any of the aggregated instances. The default value is 1 ( " Enabled " ). CIM_PolicySet ValueMap string [See below.] CIM_PolicySet Values string Enabled

Property CommonName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A user-friendly name of this policy-related object. CIM_Policy
Property PolicyKeywords Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string An 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 Caption Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. CIM_ManagedElement MaxLen uint32 64 CIM_ManagedElement
Property Description Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Description property provides a textual description of the object. CIM_ManagedElement
Property ElementName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description 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. 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
