Class Declaration Attributes Name Value SUPERCLASS CIM_PhysicalConnector NAME CIM_Slot
Class CIM_Slot Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Version string 2.10.0 CIM_Slot Description string The Slot class represents Connectors into which Packages are inserted. For example, a PhysicalPackage that is a DiskDrive may be inserted into an SCA ’ Slot ’ . As another example, a Card (subclass of PhysicalPackage) may be inserted into a 16-, 32-, or 64-bit expansion ’ Slot ’ on a HostingBoard. PCI or PCMCIA Type III Slots are examples of the latter. CIM_Slot Description string The PhysicalConnector class represents any PhysicalElement that is used to connect to other Elements. Any object that can be used to connect and transmit signals or power between two or more PhysicalElements is a descendant (or member) of this class. For example, Slots and D-shell connectors are types of PhysicalConnectors. CIM_PhysicalConnector Description string Subclasses of CIM_PhysicalElement define any component of a System that has a distinct physical identity. Instances of this class can be defined as an object that can be seen or touched. All Processes, Files, and LogicalDevices are considered not to be Physical Elements. For example, it is not possible to touch the functionality of a ’ modem. ’ You can touch only the card or package that implements the modem. The same card could also implement a LAN adapter. PhysicalElements are tangible ManagedSystemElements that have a physical manifestation of some sort. Note that the properties of PhysicalElement describe a hardware entity. Possible replacement (FRU) information is defined by following the ElementFRU association to one or more instances of the ReplacementFRU class. This definition allows a client to determine what hardware can be replaced (FRUed) and what ’ spare ’ parts might be required by a customer or engineer doing the replacement. If it can be instrumented or manually determined that an element actually replaced (FRUed) another, then this can be described in the model using the ElementHasBeenFRUed association. CIM_PhysicalElement 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. CIM_ManagedElement
Property Qualifiers
Property ConnectorType Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Override string ConnectorType CIM_Slot MappingStrings string MIF.DMTF|System Slot|005.2 CIM_Slot Description string An array of integers defining the type of PhysicalConnector. An array is specified to allow the description of ’ combinations ’ of Connector information. For example, one array entry could specify RS-232 (value=25), another DB-25 (value=23) and a third entry define the Connector as " Male " (value=2). This single property is being deprecated in lieu of using separate properties to describe the various aspects of the connector. The separation allows for a more generic means of describing the connectors. Obsolete connectors were intentionally removed from the new list.

Property VendorCompatibilityStrings Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string An array of strings that identify the components that are compatible and can be inserted in a slot. This allows vendors to provide clues to the system administrators by providing sufficient information to request the appropriate hardware that can populate the slot. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, each value defined by the vendor for use in the VendorCompatibilityStrings property SHOULD be constructed using the following ’ preferred ’ algorithm: < OrgID > : < LocalID > Where < 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 > . < LocalID > is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. CIM_Slot ModelCorrespondence string CIM_PhysicalPackage.VendorCompatibilityStrings CIM_Slot

Property Tag Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Key boolean true CIM_PhysicalElement Description string An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical Element and serves as the key of the Element. The Tag property can contain information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for PhysicalElement is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the hardware or entity, regardless of physical placement in or on Cabinets, Adapters, and so on. For example, a hotswappable or removable component can be taken from its containing (scoping) Package and be temporarily unused. The object still continues to exist and can even be inserted into a different scoping container. Therefore, the key for Physical Element is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy. CIM_PhysicalElement MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_PhysicalElement

CIM_PhysicalElement MaxLen uint32 256 CIM_PhysicalElement
Property ElementName Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Override string ElementName CIM_PhysicalElement MappingStrings string MIB.IETF|Entity-MIB.entPhysicalName CIM_PhysicalElement 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_PhysicalElement
Property Manufacturer Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Description string The name of the organization responsible for producing the PhysicalElement. This organization might be the entity from whom the Element is purchased, but this is not necessarily true. The latter information is contained in the Vendor property of CIM_Product.

Property OtherIdentifyingInfo Qualifiers Name Type Value From Class Write boolean true CIM_PhysicalElement Description string OtherIdentifyingInfo captures data in addition to Tag information. This information could be used to identify a Physical Element. One example is bar code data associated with an Element that also has an asset tag. Note that if only bar code data is available and is unique or able to be used as an Element key, this property would be null and the bar code data would be used as the class key, in the Tag property.

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.

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
