A class derived from SettingData that provides the information necessary to describe a boot source. This may be optionally associated to a bootable logical device, such as a hard disk partition, or a network device. The information from this class instance is used by the boot manager, such as BIOS/EFI or OS Loader to initiate the boot process, when this instance appears in a BootConfigSetting collection. | Qualifiers:Experimental Version ( "2.10.0" ) | Parameters (local in grey) | | string BootString ; A string identifying the boot source. It is typically used by the instrumentation to pass to the boot manager as a selection string. This could be a string identifying the bootable device, such as 'CDROM 1', or could be an implementation specific address of a bootable partition, such as the following. 'fd(64)unix root=hd(40) swap=hd(41)', or 'multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS='Microsoft Windows XP Professional'' | Required Override ( "ElementName" ) string ElementName ; The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition, the user-friendly name can be used as an index property for a search or query. (Note: The name does not have to be unique within a namespace.) | Key string InstanceID ; Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID 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 that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement 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 reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM. | MaxLen ( 64 ) string Caption ; The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. | string Description ; The Description property provides a textual description of the object. |
