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 dmtf.org and the Microsoft website at microsoft.com.

Server Administrator

Server Administrator 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.

What’s New in This Release

The release highlights of 6.5 are:

• New enumeration value (NIC Capabilities) to the Dell_NetworkPort class.

Documenting CIM Classes and Their Properties

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.

The property values being presented could be NULL or empty string on some systems, although in general, some non-empty values can be expected. Key properties (listed below) always carry non-empty values. It is recommended that you use only the following properties as key attributes:

•

CIM_PhysicalElement

•

CIM_System

•

CIM_LogicalDevice

CreationClassName, DeviceID

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_EsmLog

•

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 1-1.

Introduction 11

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 C l a s s 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

Dependent CIM_PhysicalPackage

The CIM_PackageCurrentSensor class monitors an entire physical package, such as all the components contained in a given system chassis. The

CIM_PhysicalPackage class is dependent on the CIM_PackageCurrentSensor class for this monitoring function.

CIM_PackageCurrentSensor

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.

12 Introduction

CIM_PhysicalElement

CIM_PhysicalElement is a CIM-defined class. The CIM_PhysicalElement class contains the subclasses shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1. CIM_PhysicalElement Class Structure

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.

CIM_PhysicalElement 19

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

CIM_ManagedSystemElement

CIM_PhysicalElement

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_SoftwareFeature

The CIM_SoftwareFeature class shown in Table 3-33 defines a particular function or capability of a product or application system. This class is intended to be meaningful to a consumer, or user of a product, rather than to explain how the product is built or packaged. When a software feature can exist on multiple platforms or operating systems (for example, a client component of a three-tiered client/server application might run on Windows Server 2003), a software feature is a collection of all the software elements for these different platforms. The users of the model must be aware of this situation because typically they are interested in a sub-collection of the software elements required for a particular platform.
