  • Article

Represents a collection that provides computing capabilities and consists of CIM_ManagedSystemElement objects.

Syntax

[Abstract, Version("2.24.0"), UMLPackagePath("CIM::System::SystemElements"), AMENDMENT]
class CIM_ComputerSystem : CIM_System
{
  string NameFormat;
  uint16 Dedicated[];
  string OtherDedicatedDescriptions[];
  uint16 ResetCapability;
  uint16 PowerManagementCapabilities[];
};

Members

The CIM_ComputerSystem class has these types of members:

Methods

The CIM_ComputerSystem class has these methods.

Method Description
SetPowerState This method is deprecated. Instead, use the RequestPowerStateChange method in the CIM_PowerManagementService class.
Deprecated description: Sets the power state of the computer.

Properties

The CIM_ComputerSystem class has these properties.

Dedicated

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), MappingStrings ("MIB.IETF|MIB-II.sysServices", "FC-GS.INCITS-T11 | Platform | PlatformType"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ComputerSystem.OtherDedicatedDescriptions")

The purpose and features of the computer system. For example, a system dedicated to printing could specify "11" (Print). A general purpose system with printing capabilities can be set to "0" (Not Dedicated) and "11" (Print).

Not Dedicated (0)

Unknown (1)

Other (2)

Storage (3)

Router (4)

Switch (5)

Layer 3 Switch (6)

Central Office Switch (7)

Hub (8)

Access Server (9)

Firewall (10)

Print (11)

I/O (12)

Web Caching (13)

Management (14)

This instance is dedicated to hosting system management software

Block Server (15)

File Server (16)

Mobile User Device (17)

An example of a dedicated user device is a mobile phone or a barcode scanner in a store that communicates via radio frequency. These systems are quite limited in functionality and programmability, and are not considered 'general purpose' computing platforms. Alternately, an example of a mobile system that is 'general purpose' (i.e., is NOT dedicated) is a hand-held computer. Although limited in its programmability, new software can be downloaded and its functionality expanded by the user.

Repeater (18)

Bridge/Extender (19)

Gateway (20)

Storage Virtualizer (21)

Media Library (22)

ExtenderNode (23)

NAS Head (24)

Self-contained NAS (25)

UPS (26)

IP Phone (27)

Management Controller (28)

This instance represents specialized hardware dedicated to systems management (i.e., a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or service processor).

The management scope of a "Management Controller" is typically a single managed system in which it is contained.

Chassis Manager (29)

This instance represents a system dedicated to management of a blade chassis and its contained devices. This value would be used to represent a Shelf Controller. A "Chassis Manager" is an aggregation point for management and may rely on subordinate management controllers for the management of constituent parts.

Host-based RAID controller (30)

This instance represents a RAID storage controller contained within a host computer.

Storage Device Enclosure (31)

This instance represents an enclosure that contains storage devices.

Desktop (32)

Laptop (33)

Virtual Tape Library (34)

The emulation of a tape library by a Virtual Library System.

Virtual Library System (35)

Uses disk storage to emulate tape libraries

Network PC/Thin Client (36)

FC Switch (37)

Dedicated to switching layer 2 fibre channel frames.

Ethernet Switch (38)

Dedicated to switching layer 2 ethernet frames

DMTF Reserved (..)

Vendor Reserved (32568..65535)

NameFormat

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("NameFormat")

The format of the computer system name.

("Other")

("IP")

("Dial")

("HID")

("NWA")

("HWA")

("X25")

("ISDN")

("IPX")

("DCC")

("ICD")

("E.164")

("SNA")

("OID/OSI")

("WWN")

("NAA")

OtherDedicatedDescriptions

Data type: string array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ComputerSystem.Dedicated")

Describes how or why the system is dedicated when the Dedicated array includes the value 2 (Other).

PowerManagementCapabilities

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_PowerManagementCapabilities.PowerCapabilities"), MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|System Power Controls|001.2")

This property is deprecated. Instead, use the PowerChangeCapabilities method in the CIM_PowerManagementCapabilitiesCIM_PowerManagementService class.

Deprecated description: The power management capabilities of the system.

Unknown (0)

Power Cycling Supported (6)

Timed Power On Supported (7)

ResetCapability

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|System Hardware Security|001.4")

Indicates whether the system supports the hardware reset operation.

Other (1)
