CIM_UnitaryComputerSystem class

A class derived from CIM_ComputerSystem that represents a desktop, mobile, network PC, server or other type of a single node computer system.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

The CIM_UnitaryComputerSystem class has these types of members:

• Methods
• Properties

Methods

The CIM_UnitaryComputerSystem class has these methods.

Properties

The CIM_UnitaryComputerSystem class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

The Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

CreationClassName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: CIM_Key, MaxLen (256)

The CreationClassName property 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.

This property is inherited from CIM_System.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

The Description property provides a textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

InitialLoadInfo

Data type: string array

Access type: Read-only

This object contains the data needed to find either the initial load device (its key) or the boot service to request the operating system to start up.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5")

The InstallDate property is a datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

LastLoadInfo

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIB.IETF|HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.hrSystemInitialLoadDevice", "MIB.IETF|HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.hrSystemInitialLoadParameters")

The array entry of the InitialLoadInfo property, that holds the data corresponding to booting the currently loaded operating system.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("Name"), Key, MaxLen (256)

The inherited Name property serves as key of a CIM_System instance in an enterprise environment.

This property is inherited from CIM_System.

NameFormat

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("NameFormat")

The CIM_ComputerSystem object and its derivatives are Top Level Objects of CIM. They provide the scope for numerous components. Having unique CIM_System keys is required. A heuristic is defined to create the CIM_ComputerSystem name to attempt to always generate the same name, independent of discovery protocol. This prevents inventory and management problems where the same asset or entity is discovered multiple times, but can not be resolved to a single object. Use of the heuristic is optional, but recommended.

The NameFormat property identifies how the computer system name is generated, using a heuristic. The heuristic is outlined, in detail, in the CIM V2 Common Model specification. It assumes that the documented rules are traversed in order, to determine and assign a name. The NameFormat values list defines the precedence order for assigning the computer system name. Several rules do map to the same Value.

Note that the CIM_ComputerSystem Name calculated using the heuristic is the system's key value. Other names can be assigned and used for the CIM_ComputerSystem, that better suit the business, using Aliases.

This property is inherited from CIM_ComputerSystem.
