Versionstring2.10.0 CIM_DiskGroup
DescriptionstringA DiskGroup is a named collection of DiskDrives and the StorageExtents accessed using those Drives. The collection is used to limit the BasedOn relationships of the Extents in the DiskGroup. Extents in the Group cannot be BasedOn storage accessed from Drives outside of the Group. For example, a SoftwareVolume created within the DiskGroup is restricted to be completely accessed using Drives in the Group. Actions such as replicate or migrate on an Extent must operate within the scope of the Extents that are present in the DiskGroup. CIM_DiskGroup
DescriptionstringThe CollectionOfMSEs object allows the grouping of Managed SystemElements for various identification purposes and to reduce the complexity of associating Settings and Configurations. It is abstract to require further definition and semantic refinement in subclasses. The CollectionOfMSEs object does not carry any state or status information, but represents only a grouping or ’ bag ’ of Elements. For this reason, it is incorrect to subclass groups that have state or status from CollectionOfMSEs. An example is CIM_Redundancy Group (which is subclassed from LogicalElement). Collections typically aggregate similar ( ’ like ’ ) objects, but they are not required to do so. Collections simply identify ’ bags ’ and might represent an optimization. This purpose is especially true with respect to their association to Settings and Configurations. Without Collections, you would need to define individual ElementSetting and ElementConfiguration associations, to tie Settings and Configuration objects to individual ManagedSystemElements. There might be duplication when assigning the same Setting to multiple objects. In addition, using the Collection object allows the determination that the Setting and Configuration associations are indeed the same for the Collection ’ s members. This information would otherwise be obtained by defining the Collection in a proprietary manner, and then querying the ElementSetting and ElementConfiguration associations to determine if the Collection set is completely covered. CIM_CollectionOfMSEs
DescriptionstringCollection is an abstract class that provides a common superclass for data elements that represent collections of ManagedElements and its subclasses. CIM_Collection
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

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
