CIM_LogicalIdentity class (CIMWin32 WMI Providers)
The CIM_LogicalIdentity class is an abstract and generic association that indicates that two logical elements represent different aspects of the same underlying entity. The association conveys what can be defined with multiple inheritance and is restricted to the logical aspects of a managed system element. In most scenarios, the identity relationship is determined by the equivalence of keys, or some other identifying properties of the related elements.
The association should only be used in scenarios that are well understood, allowing more concrete definition and clarification in subclasses. A scenario where the relationship is reasonable, for example, represents a device that is both a bus entity and a functional entity where the device is a USB (bus) and keyboard (functional) entity.
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
class CIM_LogicalIdentity
{
CIM_LogicalElement REF SameElement;
CIM_LogicalElement REF SystemElement;
};
Members
