The CIM_SoftwareElement class is used to decompose a CIM_SoftwareFeature object into a set of individually manageable or deployable parts, for a particular platform. A SoftwareElement's platform is uniquely identified by its underlying hardware architecture and operating system (for example Sun Solaris on Sun Sparc or Windows NT on Intel platforms). As such, to understand the details of how the functionality of a particular SoftwareFeature is provided on a particular platform, the CIM_SoftwareElement objects referenced by CIM_SoftwareFeatureSoftwareElements associations are organized in disjoint sets based on the TargetOperatingSystem property. A CIM_SoftwareElement object captures the management details of a part or component in one of four states characterized by the SoftwareElementState property. | Qualifiers:Version ( "2.7.0" ) UMLPackagePath ( "CIM::Application::DeploymentModel" ) | Parameters (local in grey) | | MaxLen ( 64 ) MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.4" } string SerialNumber ; The assigned serial number of this SoftwareElement. | ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "11" , "12" , "13" , "14" , "15" , "16" , "17" , "18" , "19" , "20" , "21" , "22" , "23" , "24" , "25" , "26" , "27" , "28" , "29" , "30" , "31" , "32" , "33" , "34" , "35" , "36" , "37" , "38" , "39" , "40" , "41" , "42" , "43" , "44" , "45" , "46" , "47" , "48" , "49" , "50" , "51" , "52" , "53" , "54" , "55" , "56" , "57" , "58" , "59" , "60" , "61" , "62" , "63" , "64" , "65" , "66" , "67" , "68" , "69" , "70" } Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "MACOS" , "ATTUNIX" , "DGUX" , "DECNT" , "Tru64 UNIX" , "OpenVMS" , "HPUX" , "AIX" , "MVS" , "OS400" , "OS/2" , "JavaVM" , "MSDOS" , "WIN3x" , "WIN95" , "WIN98" , "WINNT" , "WINCE" , "NCR3000" , "NetWare" , "OSF" , "DC/OS" , "Reliant UNIX" , "SCO UnixWare" , "SCO OpenServer" , "Sequent" , "IRIX" , "Solaris" , "SunOS" , "U6000" , "ASERIES" , "HP NonStop OS" , "HP NonStop OSS" , "BS2000" , "LINUX" , "Lynx" , "XENIX" , "VM" , "Interactive UNIX" , "BSDUNIX" , "FreeBSD" , "NetBSD" , "GNU Hurd" , "OS9" , "MACH Kernel" , "Inferno" , "QNX" , "EPOC" , "IxWorks" , "VxWorks" , "MiNT" , "BeOS" , "HP MPE" , "NextStep" , "PalmPilot" , "Rhapsody" , "Windows 2000" , "Dedicated" , "OS/390" , "VSE" , "TPF" , "Windows (R) Me" , "Caldera Open UNIX" , "OpenBSD" , "Not Applicable" , "Windows XP" , "z/OS" , "Microsoft Windows Server 2003" , "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64-Bit" } MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|SubComponent Software|001.8" } Key ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_OperatingSystem.OSType" } uint16 TargetOperatingSystem ; The TargetOperatingSystem property specifies the element's operating system environment. The value of this property does not ensure that it is binary executable. Two other pieces of information are needed. First, the version of the OS needs to be specified using the class, CIM_OSVersion Check. The second piece of information is the architecture that the OS runs on. This information is verified using CIM_ArchitectureCheck. The combination of these constructs clearly identifies the level of OS required for a particular SoftwareElement. | ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" } Values { "Deployable" , "Installable" , "Executable" , "Running" } Key uint16 SoftwareElementState ; The SoftwareElementState is defined in this model to identify various states of a SoftwareElement's life cycle. - A SoftwareElement in the deployable state describes the details necessary to successfully distribute it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the installable state (i.e, the next state). - A SoftwareElement in the installable state describes the details necessary to successfully install it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to create an element in the executable state (i.e., the next state). - A SoftwareElement in the executable state describes the details necessary to successfully start it and the details (Checks and Actions) required to move it to the running state (i.e., the next state). - A SoftwareElement in the running state describes the details necessary to manage the started element. | MaxLen ( 256 ) Key string SoftwareElementID ; This is an identifier for the SoftwareElement and is designed to be used in conjunction with other keys to create a unique representation of the element. | MaxLen ( 32 ) MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|SubComponent Software|001.7" } string LanguageEdition ; The value of this property identifies the language edition of this SoftwareElement. The language codes defined in ISO 639 should be used. Where the element represents a multi-lingual or international version, the string 'Multilingual' should be used. | MaxLen ( 64 ) MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|SubComponent Software |001.4" } Key string Version ; Software Version should be in the form <Major>.<Minor>.<Revision> or <Major>.<Minor><letter><revision>. | MaxLen ( 64 ) MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|SubComponent Software|001.6" } string IdentificationCode ; The manufacturer's identifier for this SoftwareElement. Often this will be a stock keeping unit (SKU) or a part number. | MaxLen ( 64 ) MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|Software Component Information|002.4" } string BuildNumber ; The internal identifier for this compilation of SoftwareElement. | MaxLen ( 256 ) MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|SubComponent Software|001.3" } string Manufacturer ; Manufacturer of this SoftwareElement. | MaxLen ( 256 ) Key Override ( "Name" ) string Name ; The name used to identify this SoftwareElement. | MaxLen ( 64 ) ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_OperatingSystem.OtherTypeDescription" } string OtherTargetOS ; The OtherTargetOS property records the manufacturer and operating system type for a SoftwareElement when the TargetOperatingSystem property has a value of 1 ('Other'). For all other values of TargetOperatingSystem, the OtherTargetOS property is NULL. | MaxLen ( 64 ) string CodeSet ; The code set used by this SoftwareElement. It defines the bit patterns that a system uses to identify characters. ISO defines various code sets such as UTF-8 and ISO8859-1. | ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "11" , "12" , "13" , "14" , "15" , "16" , "17" , "18" , ".." , "0x8000.." } ArrayType ( "Indexed" ) 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" } ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions" } uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ; Indicates the current statuses 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 here in more detail. 'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, and so on. '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 state and configuration of the element might need to be updated. 'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. 'Supporting Entity in Error' indicates that this element might 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 that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error). 'Power Mode' indicates that 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 because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or 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 (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element. | ArrayType ( "Indexed" ) ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" } 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. | ValueMap { "OK" , "Error" , "Degraded" , "Unknown" , "Pred Fail" , "Starting" , "Stopping" , "Service" , "Stressed" , "NonRecover" , "No Contact" , "Lost Comm" , "Stopped" } MaxLen ( 10 ) Deprecated { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" } 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 definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. 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. | MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5" } datetime InstallDate ; A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed. | ValueMap { "0" , "5" , "10" , "15" , "20" , "25" , "30" , ".." } Values { "Unknown" , "OK" , "Degraded/Warning" , "Minor failure" , "Major failure" , "Critical failure" , "Non-recoverable error" , "DMTF Reserved" } 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 completely 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 might not be possible. 'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working. 'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some might 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 might not be operating at optimal performance or it might 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 cannot report on HealthState at this time. DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future. | 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. | 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. |
