Virtual system classes

The following are virtualization WMI classes related to the virtual machine.

In this section

Topic	Description
Msvm_BootSourceComponent	Associates the Msvm_BootSourceSettingData to the overall Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData.
Msvm_BootSourceSettingData	Represents the parameters to set the boot source of a virtual machine.
Msvm_ComputerSystem	Represents a physical computer system or virtual machine.
Msvm_ConcreteComponent	A generic association used to establish 'part of' relationships between managed elements.
Msvm_LogicalIdentity	Associates two managed elements that represent different aspects of the same underlying entity.
Msvm_MostCurrentSnapshotInBranch	Associates an instance of the Msvm_ComputerSystem or Msvm_PlannedComputerSystem class representing a virtual system, with an instance of the Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData class representing the virtual system snapshot that is the most current snapshot in a branch of dependent snapshots.
Msvm_ParentChildSettingData	An association between an instance of Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData and the Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData instance that represents the most recent snapshot upon which this object is based.
Msvm_PlannedComputerSystem	Represents a planned virtual machine.
Msvm_SnapshotOfVirtualSystem	Associates a virtual system with a snapshot that was captured from the virtual system.
Msvm_SummaryInformation	Used in the GetSummaryInformation and GetDefinitionFileSummaryInformation methods in the Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService class to quickly retrieve common information related to a virtual machine or snapshot.
Msvm_SystemComponent	Establishes a "part of" relationship between a system and any managed system element of which it is composed.
Msvm_SystemDevice	Associates a logical device with the parent system.
Msvm_VirtualSystemCapabilities	Describes the capabilities of the associated Msvm_ComputerSystem.
Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData	Represents the virtualization-specific settings for a virtual machine.
Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingDataComponent	A generic association used to establish 'part of' relationships between one instance of CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData and one or more instances of CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.
