CIM_ResourcePool class

Represents a resource pool, which is a logical entity provided by the host system to allocate and assign resources.

A given resource pool may be used to allocate resources of a specific type. Hierarchies of resource pools can provide administrative control over resource allocation.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Members

The CIM_ResourcePool class has these types of members:

Properties

The CIM_ResourcePool class has these properties.

AllocationUnits

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

The units of allocation used by the Reservation and Limit properties. For example, when ResourceType is set to "Processor", AllocationUnits may be set to "hertz*10^6" or "percent". The value of this property should be a legal value of the Programmatic Units qualifier from Appendix C.1 of DSP0004 V2.4 or later.

Capacity

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

The maximum amount of reservations that the resource pool can support. The AllocationUnits property specifies the unit type.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

A short textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

A textual description of the object.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

ElementName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

HealthState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element, but not necessarily the health of its subcomponents.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Unknown (0)

The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.

OK (5)

The element is fully functional and operates within normal operational parameters and without error.

Degraded/Warning (10)

The element is in working order, and all functionality is provided. However, the element does not function to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not operate at optimal performance, or it might report recoverable errors.

Minor failure (15)

All functionality is available, but some functionality might be degraded.

Major failure (20)

The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or does not work.

Critical failure (25)

The element is nonfunctional, and recovery might not be possible.

Non-recoverable error (30)

The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality that this element provides has been lost.

DMTF Reserved

Reserved.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5")

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

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

InstanceID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key

Uniquely identifies an instance of this class within the scope of the containing namespace.

[!Important]

In order to ensure uniqueness within the namespace, the value of the InstanceID property should be constructed in the following pattern: OrgID:LocalID

  • OrgID must include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that defines the InstanceID property, or be a registered ID that is assigned by a recognized global authority.
  • OrgID must not contain a colon. The first colon in InstanceID must be between the OrgID andLocalID.
  • LocalID is chosen by the business entity and should not be re-used to identify different underlying real-world elements.
  • If the above pattern is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resultant InstanceID value is not re-used across any InstanceID properties that are produced by this provider or other providers for this namespace.
  • For DMTF defined instances, the pattern must be used with the OrgID set to "CIM".

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (1024)

The label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a key property.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

OperationalStatus

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions")

Contains indicators of the current status of the element. The first value of the OperationalStatus property should contain the primary status for the element.

Note

The OperationalStatus property replaces the deprecated Status property. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, we strongly recommend that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. When instrumented, Status, because it is a single-valued property, should also provide the primary status of the element.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

The possible values are.

Unknown (0)

Indicates that the implementation cannot report on the OperationalStatus property at this time.

Other (1)

Indicates an undefined state.

OK (2)

Indicates full functionality without errors.

Degraded (3)

Indicates that the element is in working order and that all functionality is provided. However, the element does not function to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not operate at optimal performance, or it might report recoverable errors.

Stressed (4)

Indicates that the element functions, but requires attention. Overload and overheated are examples of Stressed states.

Predictive Failure (5)

Indicates that an element functions nominally, but predicts a failure in the near future.

Error (6)

Indicates that an error has occurred.

Non-Recoverable Error (7)

Indicates that a nonrecoverable error has occurred.

Starting (8)

Indicates that the job is starting.

Stopping (9)

Indicates that the job is stopping.

Stopped (10)

Indicates that the element has been intentionally stopped.

In Service (11)

Indicates that the element is in process to be configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.

No Contact (12)

Indicates that the monitoring system has information about this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.

Lost Communication (13)

Indicates that the monitoring system has successfully contacted this element in the past, but it is currently unavailable.

Aborted (14)

Indicates that the job stopped in an unexpected way. The state and configuration of the job might require an update.

Dormant (15)

Indicates that the job is inactive.

Supporting Entity in Error (16)

Indicates that an element on which this job depends is in error. This element might be OK but cannot function because of the state of a dependent element. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.

Completed (17)

Indicates that the job has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded to indicate to a client whether the complete operation Completed with OK and passed, or completed with Error and failed, or completed with Degraded and finished the operation, but did not complete OK or did not report an error.

Power Mode (18)

Indicates that the element has additional power model information that is contained in the associated power management service.

OtherResourceType

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ResourcePool.ResourceType")

The resource type when the ResourceType property is set to "0" (other).

PoolID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.PoolId")

An opaque identifier for the pool. This property is used to provide correlation when saving and restoring configuration data to underlying persistent storage.

Primordial

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

true if the resource pool is primordial. false if the resource pool is a concrete resource pool. A primordial resource pool is a resource pool that is not created or deleted by consumers of the resource. A concrete resource pool can be updated by resource allocation services.

Reserved

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

The current number of reservations spread across all active allocations from this pool. In a hierarchical configuration, this represents the sum of all current descendant reservations. The AllocationUnits property specifies the unit type.

ResourceSubType

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

The implementation specific sub-type for the resource pool. For example, this may be used to distinguish different models of the same resource type.

ResourceType

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.OtherResourceType")

The type of resource allocated by the resource pool.

Status

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus"), MaxLen (10)

Indicates the primary status of the object.

Note

This property is deprecated. It is replaced by the OperationalStatus property. If you choose to use the Status property for backward compatibility, it should be secondary to the OperationalStatus property.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

StatusDescriptions

Data type: string array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus")

Indicates descriptions of the corresponding values in the OperationalStatus array. For example, if an element in the OperationalStatus property contains the value Stopping, then the element at the same array index in this property might contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
