Introduction

This reference guide documents the Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator Common Information Model (CIM) provider contained in the Management Object File (MOF) dccim32.mof.

CIM provides a conceptual model for describing manageable objects in a systems management environment. CIM is a modeling tool rather than a programming language. CIM provides the structure for organizing objects into a model of a managed environment. For modeling a managed environment, CIM makes available a set of abstract and concrete classes of objects. These classes model the basic characteristics of systems, networks, and applications, as well as groupings of management-related data.

For more information about CIM, see the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) website at www.dmtf.org and the Microsoft

Server Administrator

Server Administrator 1.0 or later provides a suite of systems management information for keeping track of your networked systems. In addition to providing systems management agents that are independent of the management console, Server Administrator supports these systems management standards: CIM and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

In addition to supporting systems management industry standards, Server Administrator provides additional systems management information about the specific components of your Dell™ system.

Documenting CIM Classes and Their Properties

website at www.microsoft.com.

The Dell CIM provider extends support to Dell-specific software and hardware components. The Dell MOF defines the classes for the Dell CIM provider. All of the supported classes and properties in the MOF are documented in this guide.

The following subsections define some of the basic building blocks of CIM classes that are used in describing the dccim32 provider name. These subsections also explain how the elements used in describing these classes are organized. This section does not document the entire CIM schema, but only those classes and properties supported by the dccim32 provider. The list of properties for each supported class varies greatly.

Introduction 7

Base Classes

The classes listed in the Server Administrator CIM provider class hierarchy do not have a parent property. These base classes do not derive from another class. The base classes are:

• CIM_ManagedSystemElement

• CIM_Dependency

• DELL_Esm Log

• DELL_PostLog

• DELL_CMApplication

• DELL_CMDevice

• DELL_CMDeviceApplications

• DELL_CMInventory

• DELL_CMOS

• DELL_CMProductInfo

The CIM_ManagedSystemElement class is the base class for the system element hierarchy from which all other CIM classes are derived. As a result, CIM_ManagedSystemElement has no parent. Examples of managed system elements include software components such as files, devices such as hard drives and controllers, and physical subcomponents of devices such as chip sets and cards. For the CIM_ManagedSystemElement properties, see Caption, CreationClassName, Description, Name, and Status in Table 1-2, "Common Properties of Classes."

The Dell-defined classes are not defined in the official schema by the DMTF, the industry group that defines the standards for CIM, and hence do not have parent classes. CIM_Dependency does not have a parent class because it is a relationship or association between two managed system elements.

Parent Classes

Most classes in the dccim32 provider document both a Class Name and a Parent Class property. The parent class is the class from which any given class inherits its core properties. For example, the CIM_Controller class has the CIM_LogicalDevice class as its parent, and has various types of controllers (CIM_ParallelController, CIM_SerialController) as its children.

Classes That Describe Relationships

Classes that derive from CIM_Dependency have CIM_Dependency as their parent class, but they are documented in terms of antecedent and dependent elements in a relationship rather than in terms of common properties. Consider the following relationship between two CIM_ManagedSystemElements:

Antecedent CIM_PackageCurrentSensor

Dependent CIM_PhysicalPackage

8 Introduction

The CIM_PackageCurrentSensor monitors an entire physical package, such as all the components contained in a given system chassis. The CIM_PhysicalPackage is dependent on the CIM_PackageCurrentSensor for this monitoring function.

Dell-Defined Classes

Server Administrator has extended some CIM classes and has created new classes to assist in managing systems and their components. In the diagrams that appear in the documentation for each class, those classes created and populated by Dell are designated by the gold (lighter gray) triangle icon.

Typographical Conventions

The following example shows how most of the classes in the Dell CIM provider are documented. Table 1-1 shows a partial class description for the DELL_DMA class. (For a full class description, see Table 3-41, "CIM_DMA Properties.")

Common Properties of Classes

Many classes have properties such as Caption, Description, and CreationClassName. Table 1-2 defines properties that have the same meaning in every class that has this property and are defined more than once in this guide.

Table 1-2. Common Properties of Classes

Property Description Data Type

Caption Describes the object using a short textual description

(one-line string).

CreationClassName 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.

CSCreationClassName Indicates the computer system’s creation class name. string

CSName Indicates the computer system’s name. string

CurrentReading Indicates the actual current value indicated by the sensor in

amperes.

Description Provides a textual description of the object. string

LowerThresholdNonCritical If current reading is between lower threshold noncritical and

upper threshold noncritical, the current state is normal. See Figure 3-2.

LowerThresholdCritical If the current reading is between upper threshold critical and

upper threshold fatal, the current state is critical. See Figure 3-2.

IsLinear Indicates that the sensor is linear over its dynamic range. Boolean

Manufacturer Provides the name of the organization responsible for

producing the CIM_PhysicalElement or CIM_SoftwareElement. This may be the entity from whom the element is purchased, but not necessarily. Purchase information is contained in the Ve nd or property of CIM_Product.

Name Defines the label by which the object is known. When

subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.

Table 1-2. Common Properties of Classes (continued)

Property Description Data Type

Status Provides a string indicating how well the component is

functioning—comparable to "health." Status values for operational and nonoperational conditions include:

Operational Status Values:

OK indicates that the object is functioning normally.

Degraded means that the item is functioning, but not optimally.

Stressed indicates that the element is functioning, but needs

attention. Examples of Stressed states are overloaded, overheated, and so on.

Nonoperational Status Values:

Non-recover means that a nonrecoverable error has occurred.

Error means that an element has encountered an operational

condition that is severe as compared to its normal mode of operation.

SystemCreationClassName Indicates the system’s creation class name. string

UnitModifier Provides the unit multiplier for the values returned by this

sensor. All the values returned by this sensor are represented in units of 10 raised to the power of the unit modifier. If the unit modifier is –6, then the units of the values returned are microvolts. The units apply to all numeric properties of the sensor, unless explicitly overridden by the units’ qualifier.

UpperThresholdCritical If the current reading is between upper threshold critical and

upper threshold fatal, the current status is critical. See Figure 3-2.

UpperThresholdNonCritical If the current reading is between lower threshold noncritical

and lower threshold critical, the current status is noncritical. See Figure 3-2.

Version Version should be in the form <major>.<minor>.<revision>

CIM_PhysicalElement

Subclasses of the CIM_PhysicalElement class listed in Table 2-1 define any component of a system that has a distinct physical identity. Physical elements are tangible managed system elements (usually actual hardware items) that have a physical manifestation of some sort. By contrast, processes, files, and logical devices are not classified as physical elements. A managed system element is not necessarily a discrete component. A single card (which is a type of physical element) can host more than one logical device. One card, for example, could implement both a modem and a local area network (LAN) adapter. In this case, the card would be represented by a single physical element associated with multiple logical devices.

Property Description Data Type

CreationClassName See Table 1-2, “Common Properties of Classes.”

Manufacturer See Table 1-2, “Common Properties of Classes.”

Model The name by which the physical element is generally known. string

SerialNumber A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the physical element. string

Tag Uniquely identifies the physical element and serves as the element’s key. The Ta g

property can contain information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for physical element is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order to identify the hardware/entity independently, regardless of physical placement in or on cabinets, adapters, and so on. For example, a hot-swappable or removable component can be taken from its containing (scoping) package and temporarily unused. The object still continues to exist and may even be inserted into a different scoping container. Therefore, the key for physical element is an arbitrary string that is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy.

Class Name: CIM_PhysicalPackage Parent Class: CIM_PhysicalElement

Property Description Data Type

Removable A CIM_PhysicalPackage is removable if it is designed to be taken in and out of the physical

container in which it is normally found without impairing the function of the overall package.

Replaceable A CIM_PhysicalPackage is replaceable if it is possible to substitute a physically different

element for the original element, as in a field replaceable unit (FRU). For example, some computer systems allow the microprocessor to be upgraded to one of a higher clock rating. In this case, the microprocessor is said to be replaceable.

Glossary

The following list defines or identifies technical terms, abbreviations, and acronyms used in user documents.

asset tag code

An individual code assigned to a computer, usually by a system administrator, for security or tracking purposes.

attribute

An attribute, or property, contains a specific piece of information about a manageable component. For example, a component can have attributes for settings, capabilities, and status.

CIM

Acronym for Common Information Model, which is a model for describing management information from the DMTF. CIM is implementation independent, allowing different management applications to collect the required data from a variety of sources. CIM includes schemas for systems, networks, applications, and devices. It provides mapping techniques for interchange of CIM data with MIB data from SNMP agents.

CIMOM

Acronym for common information model object manager.

CI/O

Acronym for comprehensive input/output.

class

For the purposes of the Dell™ CIM provider, a class is a set of managed system elements that can be monitored and managed using a systems management console capable of receiving CIM information. Managed system elements can have various levels of complexity, from rack systems containing multiple servers and storage systems, to individual fans, power supplies, processors, and chips. Physical objects that contain systems can be associated with the CIM_PhysicalPackage class. Managed objects of intermediate complexity can be represented by such classes as CIM_SoftwareElement or CIM_PowerSupplyRedundancy. Simple managed system elements can be represented by classes such as CIM_Processor.

component

Manageable components are operating systems, computer systems, expansion cards, or peripherals that are compatible with a systems management standard such as CIM and SNMP. Each component is made up of groups and attributes that are defined as relevant to that component.

controller

A chip that controls the transfer of data between the microprocessor and memory or between the microprocessor and a peripheral device such as a disk drive or the keyboard.

Glossary 89

DMTF

Abbreviation for Distributed Management Task Force, a consortium of companies representing hardware and software providers.

ix86

Variable used to represent microprocessors such as

i386™, i486™, and so forth.

Intel

IHV

Acronym for independent hardware vendor. IHVs often develop their own SNMP MIBs for components that they manufacture.

property

A property is a capability or characteristic of a CIM class. The temperature probe class, for example, has a property that describes its thresholds for normal, lower critical, and upper critical ranges of operation. Defining where normal operation ends and where critical temperatures begin determines when warnings should be sent to the systems manager for corrective action.

Every property has a Description and a Data Type

The Description provides a brief explanation of what a particular managed object does. The Data Type specifies the form that the values of a property must take. For example, some values are bit fields and others are integers or strings.

IT Assistant

A comprehensive systems management application that integrates event management, configuration management, and asset management for systems distributed throughout an enterprise.

MIB

Acronym for management information base. A MIB is used to send detailed status/commands from or to an SNMP managed device.

MOF

Acronym for managed object format, which is an ASCII file that contains the formal definition of a CIM schema.

NIC

Acronym for network interface controller.

provider

A provider is an extension of a CIM schema that communicates with managed objects. The provider accesses data and generates event notifications from a variety of sources. The Dell CIM provider extends the standard CIM schema to make it easier to manage systems.

MOF

A MOF is a management object file that models objects in a systems management environment. The MOF models the relationships between different managed objects. For example, the CIM_RedundancyGroup is a parent class for components that are so critical to the proper functioning of a system that the system is designed to have additional critical components. When a critical component fails, redundancy allows the system to continue operation because there are other components that can compensate for the loss. The DELL_PowerSupply and DELL_FanRedundancy classes are derived from the CIM redundancy group. The relationship is one of child to parent.

90 Glossary

RAID

Acronym for redundant array of independent disks.

response file

The file that records the features that an administrator wants to incorporate into an unattended installation is called a “response file” or an “answer file.”

set operation

An operation used to write or “set” data to MIB variables maintained by the SNMP agent.

SNMP

Abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is an industry-standard interface that allows a network manager to remotely monitor and manage workstations.

unattended installation

An unattended installation requires far less operator involvement than an interactive installation. Also called a “silent installation,” unattended installation programs record the administrator’s preferences about which features of an application program to install. The file that records these installation feature preferences is called a “response file” or an “answer file.” System administrators typically create packages that include the response file and any other files needed to install the program, distribute the package to multiple systems, and activate the unattended installation.
