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 www.microsoft.com.

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.

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

12 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

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.

string 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 hotswappable 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.

CIM_PhysicalPackage

The CIM_PhysicalPackage class listed in Table 2-2 represents physical elements that contain or host other components. Examples are a rack enclosure or an adapter card with multiple functions.

Table 2-2. CIM_PhysicalPackage Properties

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.

CIM_RemoteServiceAccessPoint

The CIM_RemoteServiceAccessPointGroup class identified in Table 3-49 describes the accessing and addressing of information for a remote connection that is known to a local network element. This information is contained in the local network element since this is the context in which it is remote. The relevance of the remote service access point and information on its use are described by subclassing or associating to the CIM_RemoteServiceAccessPointGroup class.
