CIM_ManagedSystemElement class (CIMWin32 WMI Providers)

Artikkel
01/06/2021

The CIM_ManagedSystemElement class is the base class for the system element hierarchy. Any distinguishable system component is a candidate for inclusion in this class. Examples include software components, such as files; devices, such as disk drives and controllers; and physical components, such as chips and cards.

Important

The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Syntax

[Abstract, UUID("{8502C517-5FBB-11D2-AAC1-006008C78BC7}"), DisplayName("Managed System Elements (CIM)"), AMENDMENT]
class CIM_ManagedSystemElement
{
  string   Caption;
  string   Description;
  datetime InstallDate;
  string   Name;
  string   Status;
};

Members

The CIM_ManagedSystemElement class has these types of members:

Properties

Properties

The CIM_ManagedSystemElement class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64), DisplayName ("Caption")

A short textual description of the object.

Description

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Description")

A textual description of the object.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5"), DisplayName ("Install Date")

Indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

Name

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Name")

Label by which the object is known. When subclassed, this property can be overridden to be a key property.

Status

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10), DisplayName ("Status")

String that indicates the current status of the object. Operational and non-operational status can be defined. Operational status can include "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element is functioning properly, but is predicting a failure (for example, a SMART-enabled hard disk drive).

Non-operational status can include "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". "Service" can apply during disk mirror-resilvering, reloading a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, but the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.

Values include the following:

OK ("OK")

Error ("Error")

Degraded ("Degraded")

Unknown ("Unknown")

Pred Fail ("Pred Fail")

Starting ("Starting")

Stopping ("Stopping")

Service ("Service")

Stressed ("Stressed")

NonRecover ("NonRecover")

No Contact ("No Contact")

Lost Comm ("Lost Comm")

WMI does not implement this class. For WMI classes derived from this class, see Win32 Classes.
