CIM_SecuritySensitivityCIM_AccessControlInformation Version string 2.8.0 CIM_AccessControlInformation Description string CIM_AccessControlInformation provides, through its properties and its associations, the specification of the access rights granted to a set of subject users to a set of target resources. The AccessControlInformation class is weak to the system (e.g., Computer System or Administrative Domain) for which the access controls apply. This class is deprecated in lieu of two others: AuthorizedPrivilege (defining specific access details) and SecuritySensitivity (defining individual security levels). The reasons for this are: 1. More specific access details are defined in Privilege (the superclass of AuthorizedPrivilege); and, 2. SecuritySensitivity allows security levels to be applied to other elements than access control information. CIM_AccessControlInformation Description string CIM_LogicalElement is a base class for all the components of a System that represent abstract system components, such as Files, Processes, or LogicalDevices. CIM_LogicalElement Description string CIM_ManagedSystemElement is the base class for the System Element hierarchy. Any distinguishable component of a System is a candidate for inclusion in this class. Examples of system components include: - software components such as application servers, databases, and applications - operating system components such as files, processes, and threads - device components such as disk drives, controllers, processors, and printers - physical components such as chips and cards. CIM_ManagedSystemElement 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 CreationClassName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_AccessControlInformation Description string 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. CIM_AccessControlInformation MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_AccessControlInformation
Property Name Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_AccessControlInformation Override string Name CIM_AccessControlInformation Description string The Name property defines the unique label, in the context of the hosting system, by which the AccessControlInformation is known.

Property SecurityClassification Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The SecurityClassification property specifies a named level of security associated with the AccessControlInformation, e.g., ’ Confidential ’ , ’ Top Secret ’ , etc. CIM_AccessControlInformation
Property AccessType Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The AccessType property is an array of string values that specifies the type of access for which the corresponding permission applies. For example, it can be used to specify a generic access such as ’ Read-only ’ , ’ Read/Write ’ , etc. for file or record access control or it can be used to specifiy an entry point name for service access control.

Property AccessQualifier Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The AccessQualifier property is an array of string values may be used to further qualify the type of access for which the corresponding permission applies. For example, it may be used to specify a set of parameters that are permitted or denied in conjunction with the corresponding AccessType entry point name. CIM_AccessControlInformation ArrayType string Indexed CIM_AccessControlInformation ModelCorrespondence string CIM_AccessControlInformation.AccessType
CIM_AccessControlInformation.PermissionCIM_AccessControlInformation
Property Permission Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Permission property is an array of string values indicating the permission that applies to the corresponding AccessType and AccessQualifier array values. The values may be extended in subclasses to provide more specific access controls. This property is deprecated in lieu of the general AuthorizedPrivilege class. This is because the Permissions, ’ Access ’ and ’ Deny ’ , are addressed by the PrivilegeGranted property, while ’ Manage ’ maps to specific activities with their corresponding qualifiers and formats.

Property InstallDate Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed. CIM_ManagedSystemElement MappingStrings string MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5 CIM_ManagedSystemElement
Property Name Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property. CIM_ManagedSystemElement MaxLen uint32 1024 CIM_ManagedSystemElement
Property OperationalStatus Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration ’ s values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more detail. " Stressed " indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of " Stressed " states are overload, overheated, and so on. " Predictive Failure " indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. " In Service " describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered. " No Contact " indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it. " Lost Communication " indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable. " Stopped " and " Aborted " are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated. " Dormant " indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. " Supporting Entity in Error " indicates that this element might 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. " Completed " indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error). " Power Mode " indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. OperationalStatus 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 because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or 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 (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

Property StatusDescriptions Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description 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. CIM_ManagedSystemElement ArrayType string Indexed CIM_ManagedSystemElement ModelCorrespondence string CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus CIM_ManagedSystemElement
Property Status Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string 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 definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. 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.

Property HealthState Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined: " Non-recoverable Error " (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost. " Critical Failure " (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible. " Major Failure " (20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working. " Minor Failure " (15) - All functionality is available but some might be degraded. " Degraded/Warning " (10) - The element is in working order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors. " OK " (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error. " Unknown " (0) - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time. DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future. CIM_ManagedSystemElement ValueMap string [See below.] CIM_ManagedSystemElement Values string Unknown

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
