CIM_VideoBIOSFeature Superclass: CIM_SoftwareFeature
VideoBIOSFeature represents the capabilities of the low-level software that is used to bring up, configure and use a ComputerSystem's VideoController and Display.
Qualifiers:Version ( "2.6.0" )
Parameters (local in grey)
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_VideoBIOSFeature.Characteristics" }
MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|Video BIOS Characteristic|001.4" }
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
string CharacteristicDescriptions [ ] ;
An array of free-form strings providing more detailed explanations for any of the VideoBIOS features indicated in the Characteristics array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in the Characteristics array that is located at the same index.
Values { "Other" , "Unknown" , "Undefined" , "Standard Video BIOS" , "VESA BIOS Extensions Supported" , "VESA Power Management Supported" , "VESA Display Data Channel Supported" , "Video BIOS Shadowing Allowed" , "Video BIOS Upgradeable" }

ValueMap { "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" }
MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|Video BIOS Characteristic|001.3" }
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
uint16 Characteristics [ ] ;
An array of integers that specify the features supported by the VideoBIOS. For example, one could indicate support for VESA power management (value=6) or video BIOS shadowing (8). The value, 3, is not valid in the CIM Schema since in DMI it represents that no BIOS Features are supported. In this case, the object should not be instantiated.

string Name ;
The Name property defines the unique label by which the SoftwareFeature is identified. This label should be a human-readable name that uniquely identifies the element in the context of the element's namespace.
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 health and 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.
MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5" }
datetime InstallDate ;
A datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

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 the Name property of ManagedSystemElement 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 can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
