List of Classes

CIM_AdminDomain Superclass: CIM_System
This is a special grouping of ManagedSystemElements. The grouping is viewed as a single entity, reflecting that all of its components are administered similarly - either by the same user, group of users or policy. It serves as an aggregation point to associate one or more of the following elements: network devices, such as routers and switches, servers, and other resources that can be accessed by end systems. This grouping of devices plays an essential role in ensuring that the same administrative policy and actions are applied to all of the devices in the grouping. The specific behavior and/or semantics of the AdminDomain can be identified through its aggregated and associated entities.

string NameFormat ;
The NameFormat property identifies how the Name of the AdminDomain is generated, using the heuristic specified in the CIM V2 System Model spec. 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 Name of the AdminDomain.

'FC' has been deprecated and replaced by 'WWN' to be consistent with the other ValueMaps.

An array (bag) of strings that specify the administrator -defined roles this System plays in the managed environment. Examples might be 'Building 8 print server' or 'Boise user directories'. A single system may perform multiple roles.
Note that instrumentation's view of a System's 'roles' is defined by instantiating a specific subclass of System and/ or by properties in a subclass. For example, a ComputerSystem's purpose is defined using the Dedicated and OtherDedicatedDescription properties.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState" }
string OtherEnabledState ;
A string describing the element's enabled/disabled state when the EnabledState property is set to 1 ('Other'). This property MUST be set to NULL when EnabledState is any value other than 1.
Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "Enabled" , "Disabled" , "Shutting Down" , "Not Applicable" , "Enabled but Offline" , "In Test" , "Deferred" , "Quiesce" , "Starting" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Reserved" }

uint16 EnabledState = 5 ;
EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled/disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled/disabled states:
Enabled (2) indicates that the element is/could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.
Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.
Not Applicable (5) indicates the element doesn't support being enabled/disabled.
Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element may be completing commands, and will drop any new requests.
Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state.
Deferred (8) indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The element's behavior is similar to the Enabled state, but it only processes a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued.
Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
datetime TimeOfLastStateChange ;
The date/time when the element's EnabledState last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this property is populated, then it MUST be set to a 0 interval value. If a state change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property MUST NOT be updated.

uint32RequestStateChange(
The state requested for the element. This information will be placed into the instance's RequestedState property if the RequestStateChange method's return code is 0, 3, or 4096 (0x1000) - 'Completed with No Error', 'Timeout', or 'Job Started' respectively. Refer to the description of the EnabledState and RequestedState properties for the detailed meanings of the RequestedState values.

Qualifiers:OUT IN ( false )
CIM_ConcreteJob REF Job
A timeout period that specifies the maximum amount of time that the client expects the transition to the new state to take. The interval format MUST be used to specify the TimeoutPeriod. A value of 0 or a null parameter indicates that the client has no time requirements for the transition.
If this property does not contain 0 or null and the implementation doesn't support this parameter. A return code of 'Use Of Timeout Parameter Not Supported' MUST be returned.

Qualifiers:IN
datetime TimeoutPeriod
)
Requests that the element's state be changed to the value specified in the RequestedState parameter. When the requested state change takes place, the element's EnabledState and RequestedState will be the same. Invoking the RequestStateChange method multiple times could result in earlier requests being overwritten/lost.
If 0 is returned, then the task completed successfully and the use of ConcreteJob was not required. If 4096 (0x1000) is returned, then the task will take some time to complete, ConcreteJob will be created, and its reference returned in the output parameter Job. Any other return code indicates an error condition.

uint16 RequestedState = 12 ;
RequestedState is an integer enumeration indicating the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled/disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ('Not Applicable'), then this property has no meaning. By default, the element's RequestedState is 5 ('No Change'). Refer to the EnabledState's property Description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.

It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are 'Reboot' (10) and 'Reset' (11). The former, Reboot, refers to doing a 'Shut Down' and then moving to an 'Enabled' state. The latter, Reset, indicates that the element is first 'Disabled' and then 'Enabled'. The distinction between requesting 'Shut Down' and 'Disabled' should also be noted. The former, Shut Down, requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and MAY involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The latter, the Disabled state, requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or processing requests.

This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or may be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, since it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.

It is possible that a particular instance of EnabledLogicalElement may not support RequestedStateChange. If this occurs, the value 12 ('Not Applicable') is used.

uint16 HealthState ;
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 completed 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 MAY NOT be possible.
'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible the some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some MAY 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 may not be operating at optimal performance or it may 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 can not report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" }
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
string StatusDescriptions [ ] ;
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.
Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "OK" , "Degraded" , "Stressed" , "Predictive Failure" , "Error" , "Non-Recoverable Error" , "Starting" , "Stopping" , "Stopped" , "In Service" , "No Contact" , "Lost Communication" , "Aborted" , "Dormant" , "Supporting Entity in Error" , "Completed" , "Power Mode" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Reserved" }

ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ;
Indicates the current status(es) 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 in more detail.
'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, etc.
'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 element's state and configuration may need to be updated.
'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
'Supporting Entity in Error' describes that this element may 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 the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error.
'Power Mode' indicates 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 since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/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 (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.

string Status ;
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 overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 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.
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.
string ElementName ;
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 ManagedSystemElement's Name property 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 MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
CIM_Component
CIM_Component is a generic association used to establish 'part of' relationships between Managed Elements. For example, it could be used to define the components or parts of a System.
Qualifiers:Abstract Version ( "2.7.0" ) Aggregation Association
Parameters (local in grey)
Key
CIM_ManagedElement REF PartComponent ;
The child element in the association.
Key
Aggregate
CIM_ManagedElement REF GroupComponent ;
The parent element in the association.
CIM_ConcreteComponent Superclass: CIM_Component
CIM_ConcreteComponent is a generic association used to establish 'part of' relationships between ManagedElements. It is defined as a concrete subclass of the abstract CIM_Component class, to be used in place of many specific subclasses of Component that add no semantics - i.e., that do not clarify the type of composition, update cardinalities, or add/remove qualifiers. Note that when defining additional semantics for Component that this class MUST NOT be subclassed. Specific semantics continue to be defined as subclasses of the abstract CIM_Component. ConcreteComponent is limited in its use as a concrete form of a general composition.

It was deemed more prudent to create this concrete subclass than to change Component from an abstract to a concrete class. Industry usage and impact could not be anticipated.

CIM_ConcreteDependency Superclass: CIM_Dependency
CIM_ConcreteDependency is a generic association used to establish dependency relationships between ManagedElements. It is defined as a concrete subclass of the abstract CIM_Dependency class, to be used in place of many specific subclasses of Dependency that add no semantics - i.e., that do not clarify the type of dependency, update cardinalities, or add/remove qualifiers. Note that when defining additional semantics for Dependency that this class MUST NOT be subclassed. Specific semantics continue to be defined as subclasses of the abstract CIM_Dependency. ConcreteDependency is limited in its use as a concrete form of a general dependency.

It was deemed more prudent to create this concrete subclass than to change Dependency from an abstract to a concrete class. Dependency already had multiple abstract subclasses in the CIM Schema, and wider industry usage and impact could not be anticipated.

CIM_ManagedElement REF Dependent ;
Dependent represents the object dependent on the Antecedent.

CIM_ConcreteIdentity Superclass: CIM_LogicalIdentity
CIM_ConcreteIdentity associates two elements representing different aspects of the same underlying entity. It is defined as a concrete subclass of the abstract CIM_LogicalIdentity class, to be used in place of many specific subclasses of LogicalIdentity that add no semantics - i.e., that do not clarify the type of identity, update cardinalities, or add/remove qualifiers. Note -that when defining additional semantics for LogicalIdentity that this class should not be subclassed. Specifc semantics continue to be defined as subclasses of the abstract CIM_LogicalIdentity. ConcreteIdentity is limited in its use as a concrete form of a general identity relationship.

It was deemed more prudent to create this concrete subclass than to change LogicalIdentity from an abstract to a concrete class. LogicalIdentity already had multiple abstract subclasses in the CIM Schema, and wider industry usage and impact could not be anticipated.

uint16 JobState ;
JobState is an integer enumeration that indicates the operational state of a Job. It can also indicate transitions between these states, for example, 'Shutting Down' and 'Starting'. Following is a brief description of the states:
New (2) indicates that the job has never been started.
Starting (3) indicates that the job is moving from the 'New', 'Suspended', or 'Service' states into the 'Running' state.
Running (4) indicates that the Job is running.
Suspended (5) indicates that the Job is stopped, but may be restarted in a seamless manner.
Shutting Down (6) indicates the job is moving to a 'Completed', 'Terminated', or 'Killed' state.
Completed (7) indicates that the job has completed normally.
Terminated (8) indicates that the job has been stopped by a 'Terminate' state change request. The job and all its underlying processes are ended and may be restarted (this is job-specific) only as a new job.
Killed (9) indicates that the job has been stopped by a 'Kill' state change request. Underlying processes may have been left running and cleanup may be required to free up resources.
Exception (10) indicates that the Job is in an abnormal state that may be indicative of an error condition. Actual status may be surfaced though job-specific objects.
Service (11) indicates that the Job is in a vendor-specific state that supports problem discovery and/or resolution.

string Name ;
The user friendly name for this instance of Job. In addition, the user friendly name can be used as a property for a search or query. (Note: 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. In order 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 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. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace.
For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.

MaxValue ( 31 )
sint8 RunDay ;
The day in the month on which the Job should be processed. There are two different interpretations for this property, depending on the value of DayOfWeek. In one case, RunDay defines the day-in-month on which the Job is processed. This interpretation is used when the DayOfWeek is 0. A positive or negative integer indicates whether the RunDay should be calculated from the beginning or the end of the month. For example, 5 indicates the fifth day in RunMonth and -1 indicates the last day in the RunMonth.

When RunDayOfWeek is not 0, RunDay is the day-in-month on which the Job is processed, defined in conjunction with RunDayOfWeek. For example, if RunDay is 15 and RunDayOfWeek is Saturday, then the Job is processed on the first Saturday on or AFTER the 15th day in the RunMonth (e.g., the third Saturday in the month). If RunDay is 20 and RunDayOfWeek is -Saturday, then this indicates the first Saturday on or BEFORE the 20th day in the RunMonth. If RunDay is -1 and RunDayOfWeek is -Sunday, then this indicates the last Sunday in the RunMonth.

'Critical Failure' (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery MAY NOT be possible.
'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible the some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some MAY 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 may not be operating at optimal performance or it may be reporting recoverable errors.
'OK' (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error.

uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ;
Indicates the current status(es) 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 in more detail.
'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, etc.
'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 element's state and configuration may need to be updated.
'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
'Supporting Entity in Error' describes that this element may 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 the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error.
'Power Mode' indicates 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 since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/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 (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.

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 overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 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.

uint16 EnabledState = 5 ;
EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled/disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled/disabled states:
Enabled (2) indicates that the element is/could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.
Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.
Not Applicable (5) indicates the element doesn't support being enabled/disabled.
Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element may be completing commands, and will drop any new requests.
Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state.
Deferred (8) indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The element's behavior is similar to the Enabled state, but it only processes a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued.
Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
datetime TimeOfLastStateChange ;
The date/time when the element's EnabledState last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this property is populated, then it MUST be set to a 0 interval value. If a state change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property MUST NOT be updated.

Requests that the element's state be changed to the value specified in the RequestedState parameter. When the requested state change takes place, the element's EnabledState and RequestedState will be the same. Invoking the RequestStateChange method multiple times could result in earlier requests being overwritten/lost.
If 0 is returned, then the task completed successfully and the use of ConcreteJob was not required. If 4096 (0x1000) is returned, then the task will take some time to complete, ConcreteJob will be created, and its reference returned in the output parameter Job. Any other return code indicates an error condition.

uint16 RequestedState = 12 ;
RequestedState is an integer enumeration indicating the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled/disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ('Not Applicable'), then this property has no meaning. By default, the element's RequestedState is 5 ('No Change'). Refer to the EnabledState's property Description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.

It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are 'Reboot' (10) and 'Reset' (11). The former, Reboot, refers to doing a 'Shut Down' and then moving to an 'Enabled' state. The latter, Reset, indicates that the element is first 'Disabled' and then 'Enabled'. The distinction between requesting 'Shut Down' and 'Disabled' should also be noted. The former, Shut Down, requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and MAY involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The latter, the Disabled state, requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or processing requests.

This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or may be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, since it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.

It is possible that a particular instance of EnabledLogicalElement may not support RequestedStateChange. If this occurs, the value 12 ('Not Applicable') is used.

ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_Job.RunMonth" , "CIM_Job.RunDay" , "CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek" , "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval" }
datetime RunStartInterval ;
The time interval after midnight when the Job should be processed. For example,
00000000020000.000000:000
indicates that the Job should be run on or after two o'clock, local time or UTC time (distinguished using the LocalOrUtcTime property.
Values { "-Saturday" , "-Friday" , "-Thursday" , "-Wednesday" , "-Tuesday" , "-Monday" , "-Sunday" , "ExactDayOfMonth" , "Sunday" , "Monday" , "Tuesday" , "Wednesday" , "Thursday" , "Friday" , "Saturday" }

sint8 RunDayOfWeek ;
Positive or negative integer used in conjunction with RunDay to indicate the day of the week on which the Job is processed. RunDayOfWeek is set to 0 to indicate an exact day of the month, such as March 1. A positive integer (representing Sunday, Monday, ..., Saturday) means that the day of week is found on or AFTER the specified RunDay. A negative integer (representing -Sunday, -Monday, ..., -Saturday) means that the day of week is found on or BEFORE the RunDay.
Write
string Notify ;
User to be notified upon the Job completion or failure.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_Job.RecoveryAction" }
string OtherRecoveryAction ;
A string describing the recovery action when the instance's RecoveryAction property is 1 ('Other').
Values { "Success" , "Not Supported" , "Unknown" , "Timeout" , "Failed" , "Access Denied" , "Not Found" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Specific" }
Deprecated { "CIM_ConcreteJob.RequestStateChange()" }
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "6" , "7" , ".." , "32768..65535" }
uint32KillJob(
Indicates whether or not the Job should be automatically deleted upon termination. This parameter takes precedence over the property, DeleteOnCompletion.
Qualifiers:IN
boolean DeleteOnKill
)
KillJob is being deprecated because there is no distiction made between an orderly shutdown and an immediate kill. CIM_ConcreteJob.RequestStateChange() provides 'Terminate' and 'Kill' options to allow this distinction.
A method to kill this job and any underlying processes, and to remove any 'dangling' associations.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_Job.ErrorCode" }
string ErrorDescription ;
A free form string containing the vendor error description. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run error can be stored in this single-valued property.
MinValue ( 31 )
Write
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_Job.RunMonth" , "CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek" , "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval" }
MaxValue ( 31 )
sint8 RunDay ;
The day in the month on which the Job should be processed. There are two different interpretations for this property, depending on the value of DayOfWeek. In one case, RunDay defines the day-in-month on which the Job is processed. This interpretation is used when the DayOfWeek is 0. A positive or negative integer indicates whether the RunDay should be calculated from the beginning or the end of the month. For example, 5 indicates the fifth day in RunMonth and -1 indicates the last day in the RunMonth.

When RunDayOfWeek is not 0, RunDay is the day-in-month on which the Job is processed, defined in conjunction with RunDayOfWeek. For example, if RunDay is 15 and RunDayOfWeek is Saturday, then the Job is processed on the first Saturday on or AFTER the 15th day in the RunMonth (e.g., the third Saturday in the month). If RunDay is 20 and RunDayOfWeek is -Saturday, then this indicates the first Saturday on or BEFORE the 20th day in the RunMonth. If RunDay is -1 and RunDayOfWeek is -Sunday, then this indicates the last Sunday in the RunMonth.
Values { "January" , "February" , "March" , "April" , "May" , "June" , "July" , "August" , "September" , "October" , "November" , "December" }

ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "11" }
uint8 RunMonth ;
The month during which the Job should be processed. Specify 0 for January, 1 for February, and so on.
Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "Do Not Continue" , "Continue With Next Job" , "Re-run Job" , "Run Recovery Job" }
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_Job.OtherRecoveryAction" }
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" }
uint16 RecoveryAction ;
Describes the recovery action to be taken for an unsuccessfully run Job. The possible values are:
0 = 'Unknown', meaning it is unknown as to what recovery action to take
1 = 'Other', indicating that the recovery action will be specified in the property, OtherRecoveryAction
2 = 'Do Not Continue', meaning stop the execution of the job and appropriately update its status
3 = 'Continue With Next Job', meaning continue with the next job in the queue
4 = 'Re-run Job', indicating that the job should be re-run
5 = 'Run Recovery Job', meaning run the Job associated using the RecoveryJob relationship. Note that the recovery Job MUST already be on the queue from which it will run.
datetime StartTime ;
The time that the Job was actually started. This may be represented by an actual date and time, or by an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run time can be stored in this single-valued property.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" }
string JobStatus ;
A free form string representing the Job's status. The primary status is reflected in the inherited OperationalStatus property. JobStatus provides additional, implementation-specific details.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_Job.ErrorDescription" }
uint16 ErrorCode ;
A vendor specific error code. This MUST be set to zero if the Job completed without error. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run error can be stored in this single-valued property.
Write
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_Job.LocalOrUtcTime" }
datetime UntilTime ;
The time after which the Job is invalid or should be stopped. This may be represented by an actual date and time, or by an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all nines indicates that the Job can run indefinitely.
Write
Deprecated { "CIM_Job.RunMonth" , "CIM_Job.RunDay" , "CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek" , "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval" }
datetime ScheduledStartTime ;
The time that the current Job is scheduled to start. This may be represented by the actual date and time, or an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all zeroes indicates that the Job is already executing. The property is deprecated in lieu of the more expressive scheduling properties, RunMonth, RunDay, RunDayOfWeek and RunStartInterval.
datetime TimeSubmitted ;
The time that the Job was submitted to execute. A value of all zeroes indicates that the owning element is not capable of reporting a date and time. Therefore, the ScheduledStartTime and StartTime are reported as intervals relative to the time their values are requested.
MinValue ( 0 )
MaxValue ( 101 )
Units ( "Percent" )
uint16 PercentComplete ;
The percentage of the job that has completed at the time that this value is requested. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run data can be stored in this single-valued property.
Note that the value 101 is undefined and will be not be allowed in the next major revision of the specification.
Values { "Local Time" , "UTC Time" }
Write
ValueMap { "1" , "2" }
uint16 LocalOrUtcTime ;
This property indicates whether the times represented in the RunStartInterval and UntilTime properties represent local times or UTC times. Time values are synchronized worldwide by using the enumeration value 2, 'UTC Time'.
datetime ElapsedTime ;
The time interval that the Job has been executing or the total execution time if the Job is complete. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run time can be stored in this single-valued property.
Write
uint32 JobRunTimes = 1 ;
Number of times that the Job should be run. A value of 1 indicates that the Job is NOT recurring, while any non-zero value indicates a limit to the number of times that the Job will recur. Zero indicates that there is no limit to the number of times that the Job can be processed, but that it is terminated either AFTER the UntilTime, or by manual intervention. By default, a Job is processed once.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_OwningJobElement" }
string Owner ;
The User that submitted the Job or the Service/method name/etc. that caused the job to be created.
Write
boolean DeleteOnCompletion ;
Indicates whether or not the job should be automatically deleted upon completion. Note that the 'completion' of a recurring job is defined by its JobRunTimes or UntilTime properties, OR when the Job is terminated by manual intervention. If this property is set to false and the job completes, then the extrinsic method DeleteInstance MUST be used to delete the job versus updating this property.
Write
uint32 Priority ;
Indicates the urgency or importance of execution of the Job. The lower the number, the higher the priority. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the setting information that would influence a Job's results.

uint16 HealthState ;
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 completed 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 MAY NOT be possible.
'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible the some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some MAY 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 may not be operating at optimal performance or it may 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 can not report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" }
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
string StatusDescriptions [ ] ;
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.
Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "OK" , "Degraded" , "Stressed" , "Predictive Failure" , "Error" , "Non-Recoverable Error" , "Starting" , "Stopping" , "Stopped" , "In Service" , "No Contact" , "Lost Communication" , "Aborted" , "Dormant" , "Supporting Entity in Error" , "Completed" , "Power Mode" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Reserved" }

ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ;
Indicates the current status(es) 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 in more detail.
'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, etc.
'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 element's state and configuration may need to be updated.
'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
'Supporting Entity in Error' describes that this element may 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 the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error.
'Power Mode' indicates 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 since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/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 (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.

string Name ;
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.

string Status ;
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 overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 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.
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.
string ElementName ;
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 ManagedSystemElement's Name property 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 MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.

CIM_LogicalIdentity
CIM_LogicalIdentity is an abstract and generic association, indicating that two ManagedElements represent different aspects of the same underlying entity. This relationship conveys what could be defined with multiple inheritance. In most scenarios, the Identity relationship is determined by the equivalence of Keys or some other identifying properties of the related Elements.

One of the scenarios where this relationship is reasonable is to represent that a LogicalDevice is both a 'bus' entity and a 'functional' entity. For example, a Device could be both a USB (bus) and a Keyboard (functional) entity.
Qualifiers:Abstract Version ( "2.7.0" ) Association
Parameters (local in grey)
Key
CIM_ManagedElement REF SameElement ;
SameElement represents an alternate aspect of the ManagedElement.
Key
CIM_ManagedElement REF SystemElement ;
SystemElement represents one aspect of the Managed Element. The use of 'System' in the role name does not limit the scope of the association. The role name was defined in the original association, where the referenced elements were limited to LogicalElements. Since that time, it has been found valuable to instantiate these types of relationships for ManagedElements, such as Collections. So, the referenced elements of the association were redefined to be ManagedElements. Unfortunately, the role name could not be changed without deprecating the entire association. This was not deemed necessary just to correct the role name.
CIM_ManagedElement
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.

This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error.
'Power Mode' indicates 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 since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/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 (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.

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 overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 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.

It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies.

CIM_RelatedElementCausingError Superclass: CIM_Dependency
This association defines the relationship between a failing managed element and the managed element that is causing the error. The cause and effect MAY be indirect. The cause MAY be simply that the lack of functionality of one component causes another component to be overworked.
The association instance MUST exist as long as the cause and effect relationship exists.

Parameters (local in grey)
datetime FailureRelationshipInitiated ;
The time which this failure relationship was created. The datetime SHOULD be provided because of the usefulness of knowing when effect was initiated.

ValueMap { "2" , "10" , ".." }
uint16 EffectCorrelation = 10 ;
An enumeration which very generally describes the correlation of the failure of the Antecedent to its effect on the Dependent. Description of the weight of the effect reported by an instance of this class. The effect of the Antecedent element can have a strong or heavy impact of the health of the Dependent element, or the impact may be weak or light.
uint16 Ranking = 1 ;
There MAY be more than one errant Managed Element that is causing this Managed Element to fail. This ranking is used to express the most significant cause.
The Rank attribute is used to declare the ranking of a particular cause and effect relationship amongst all cause and effect relationships defined by instances of this association for a particular element.
1 is the highest ranking. A rank of 1 declares that this cause and effect relationship is the most debilitating and should be addressed with priority over all other cause and effect relationships. As the rank increases, the affect imposed of the Antecedent Managed Element failure decreases. There SHOULD be only one instance of this association with a particular ranking value per Dependent instance. If there are more than one instance of the same ranking per Dependent instance, then the observer can not determine from the model which cause and effect relationship to seek resolution on first.
The ranking of existing instances MAY change over time based on the prevailing conditions of the device.

CIM_System Superclass: CIM_EnabledLogicalElement
CIM_System represents an entity made up of component parts (defined by the SystemComponent relationship), that operates as a 'functional whole'. Systems are top level objects in the CIM hierarchy, requiring no scoping or weak relationships in order to exist and have context. It should be reasonable to uniquely name and manage a System at an enterprise level. For example, a ComputerSystem is a kind of System that can be uniquely named and independently managed in an enterprise. However, this is not true for the power supply (or the power supply sub-'system') within the computer.

Although a System may be viewed as a Collection, this is not the correct model. A Collection is simply a 'bag' that 'holds' its members. A System is a higher level abstraction, built out of its individual components. It is more than a sum of its parts. Note that System is a subclass of EnabledLogicalElement which allows the entire abstraction to be functionally enabled/disabled - at a higher level than enabling/disabling its component parts.

ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState" }
string OtherEnabledState ;
A string describing the element's enabled/disabled state when the EnabledState property is set to 1 ('Other'). This property MUST be set to NULL when EnabledState is any value other than 1.
Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "Enabled" , "Disabled" , "Shutting Down" , "Not Applicable" , "Enabled but Offline" , "In Test" , "Deferred" , "Quiesce" , "Starting" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Reserved" }

uint16 EnabledState = 5 ;
EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled/disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled/disabled states:
Enabled (2) indicates that the element is/could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.
Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.
Not Applicable (5) indicates the element doesn't support being enabled/disabled.
Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element may be completing commands, and will drop any new requests.
Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state.
Deferred (8) indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The element's behavior is similar to the Enabled state, but it only processes a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued.
Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
datetime TimeOfLastStateChange ;
The date/time when the element's EnabledState last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this property is populated, then it MUST be set to a 0 interval value. If a state change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property MUST NOT be updated.

uint32RequestStateChange(
The state requested for the element. This information will be placed into the instance's RequestedState property if the RequestStateChange method's return code is 0, 3, or 4096 (0x1000) - 'Completed with No Error', 'Timeout', or 'Job Started' respectively.

CIM_ConcreteJob REF Job
A timeout period that specifies the maximum amount of time that the client expects the transition to the new state to take. The interval format MUST be used to specify the TimeoutPeriod. A value of 0 or a null parameter indicates that the client has no time requirements for the transition.
If this property does not contain 0 or null and the implementation doesn't support this parameter. A return code of 'Use Of Timeout Parameter Not Supported' MUST be returned.

)
Requests that the element's state be changed to the value specified in the RequestedState parameter. When the requested state change takes place, the element's EnabledState and RequestedState will be the same. Invoking the RequestStateChange method multiple times could result in earlier requests being overwritten/lost.
If 0 is returned, then the task completed successfully and the use of ConcreteJob was not required. If 4096 (0x1000) is returned, then the task will take some time to complete, ConcreteJob will be created, and its reference returned in the output parameter Job. Any other return code indicates an error condition.

uint16 RequestedState = 12 ;
RequestedState is an integer enumeration indicating the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled/disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 ('Not Applicable'), then this property has no meaning. By default, the element's RequestedState is 5 ('No Change'). Refer to the EnabledState's property Description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.

It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are 'Reboot' (10) and 'Reset' (11). The former, Reboot, refers to doing a 'Shut Down' and then moving to an 'Enabled' state. The latter, Reset, indicates that the element is first 'Disabled' and then 'Enabled'. The distinction between requesting 'Shut Down' and 'Disabled' should also be noted. The former, Shut Down, requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and MAY involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The latter, the Disabled state, requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or processing requests.

This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or may be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, since it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.

It is possible that a particular instance of EnabledLogicalElement may not support RequestedStateChange. If this occurs, the value 12 ('Not Applicable') is used.

uint16 HealthState ;
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 completed 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 MAY NOT be possible.
'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible the some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some MAY 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 may not be operating at optimal performance or it may 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 can not report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.

uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ;
Indicates the current status(es) 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 in more detail.
'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, etc.
'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 element's state and configuration may need to be updated.
'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
'Supporting Entity in Error' describes that this element may 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 the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error.

CIM_SystemComponent Superclass: CIM_Component
CIM_SystemComponent is a specialization of the CIM_Component association that establishes 'part of' relationships between a System and any ManagedSystemElements of which it is composed.
The use of this association is cautioned - versus the use of a subclass such as SystemDevice, or a peer association such as HostedService. This class is very broadly defined which can lead to erroneous use. For example, Access Points that are dependent on (and hosted on) a System are NOT Components of the System. The System is not made up of any AccessPoint 'parts', which is why a Dependency association, HostedAccessPoint, was defined. Similarly, a PhysicalPackage is not a 'part' of a System, since the physical element exists independently of any internal components, software, etc. In fact, again, a Dependency relationship is true - where a ComputerSystem is Dependent on its packaging, as described by the ComputerSystemPackage association.
