CIM_Container class

The CIM_Container class represents an association between a contained and a containing physical element. A containing object must be a physical package.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Syntax

• Properties

Properties

The CIM_Container class has these properties.

GroupComponent

Data type: CIM_PhysicalPackage

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("GroupComponent"), Max (1)

A CIM_PhysicalPackage that represents the physical package that contains other physical elements, including other packages.

LocationWithinContainer

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Free-form string that represents the positioning of the physical element within the physical package. Information relative to stationary elements in the container (for example, "second drive bay from the top"), angles, altitudes, and other data can be recorded in this property. This string could supplement or be used in place of instantiating the CIM_Location object.

PartComponent

Data type: CIM_PhysicalElement

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("PartComponent")

A CIM_PhysicalElement that describes the physical element which is contained in the package.
