Properties

IdTypeRangeDescription
Key
CreationClassName string
Max Length256
CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
Tag string
Max Length256
An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical Element and serves as the key of the Element. The Tag property can contain information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for PhysicalElement is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the hardware or entity, 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 be temporarily unused. The object still continues to exist and can even be inserted into a different scoping container. Therefore, the key for Physical Element is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy.

AudibleAlarm boolean
Boolean indicating whether the Frame is equipped with an audible alarm.
Caption string
Max Length64
The Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.

The use of this property is deprecated in lieu of ChassisPackageType. A physical package should not have multiple form factors. Therefore, this property is being deprecated in lieu of a single value property.An enumerated, integer-valued array indicating the type of Chassis.
CurrentRequiredOrProduced sint16
Current required by the Chassis at 120V. If power is provided by the Chassis (as in the case of a UPS), this property may indicate the amperage produced, as a negative number.
Depth real32
The depth of the PhysicalPackage in inches.
Description string
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
ElementName string
Height real32
The height of the PhysicalPackage in inches.
HotSwappable boolean
The use of this property is being deprecated. Instead RemovalConditions should be used. The RemovalConditions property addresses whether a PhysicalPackage is removable with or without power being applied.A PhysicalPackage is HotSwappable if it is possible to replace the Element with a physically different but equivalent one while the containing Package has power applied to it (ie, is'on'). For example, a disk drive Package inserted using SCA connectors is both Removable and HotSwappable. All HotSwappable packages are inherently Removable and Replaceable.
LockPresent boolean
Boolean indicating whether the Frame is protected with a lock.
Manufacturer string
Max Length256
The name of the organization responsible for producing the PhysicalElement. This organization might be the entity from whom the Element is purchased, but this is not necessarily true. The latter information is contained in the Vendor property of CIM_Product.
Model string
Max Length256
The name by which the PhysicalElement is generally known.
MultipleSystemSupport uint16
Unknown0
True1
False2
MultipleSystemSupport indicates whether or not this chassis supports multiple systems, for example server blades.
Name string
Max Length1024
The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
NumberOfPowerCords uint16
Integer indicating the number of power cords which must be connected to the Chassis, for all the componentry to operate.

Indicates the current status(es) of the element. Various health and operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self- explanatory. However, a few are not and are described in more detail."Stressed"indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of"Stressed"states are overload, overheated, etc."Predictive Failure"indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future."In Service"describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered."No Contact"indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it."Lost Communication"indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to existand has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable."Stopped"and"Aborted"are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the element's state and configuration may need to be updated."Dormant"indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced."Supporting Entity in Error"describes that this element may be"OK"but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower layer networking problems."Completed"indicates the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded implies the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error."Power Mode"indicates the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, providers/instrumentation must provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus will contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (since it is single-valued) will also provide the primary status of the element.
PartNumber string
Max Length256
The part number assigned by the organization that is responsible for producing or manufacturing the PhysicalElement.
RackMountable uint16
Unknown0
True1
False2
RackMountable indicates whether or not the chassis is Rack Mountable.
Removable boolean
The use of this property is being deprecated. Instead RemovalConditions should be used. The RemovalConditions property addresses whether a PhysicalPackage is removable with or without power being applied.A 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 packaging. A Package can still be Removable if power must be'off'in order to perform the removal. If power can be'on'and the Package removed, then the Element is both Removable and HotSwappable. For example, an extra battery in a laptop is Removable, as is a disk drive Package inserted using SCA connectors. However, the latter is also HotSwappable. A laptop's display is not Removable, nor is a non-redundant power supply. Removing these components would impact the function of the overall packaging or is impossible due to the tight integration of the Package.
RemovalConditions uint16
Unknown0
Not Applicable2
Removable when off3
Removable when on or off4
The RemovalCapabilites property is used to describe the conditions under which a PhysicalPackage can be removed. Since all PhysicalPackages are not removable, this property defaults to 2,'Not Applicable'.
Replaceable boolean
The use of this property is being deprecated because it is redundant with the FRU class and its associations. A PhysicalPackage is Replaceable if it is possible to replace (FRU or upgrade) the Element with a physically different one. For example, some ComputerSystems allow the main Processor chip to be upgraded to one of a higher clock rating. In this case, the Processor is said to be Replaceable. Another example is a power supply Package mounted on sliding rails. All Removable packages are inherently Replaceable.
SecurityBreach uint16
Other1
Unknown2
No Breach3
Breach Attempted4
Breach Successful5
SecurityBreach is an enumerated, integer-valued property indicating whether a physical breach of the Frame was attempted but unsuccessful (value=4) or attempted and successful (5). Also, the values,"Unknown","Other"or"No Breach", can be specified.
SerialNumber string
Max Length256
A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the Physical Element. NodeVPD sytem_serial_number
StatusDescriptions string
Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if"Stopping"is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.
Version string
Max Length64
A string that indicates the version of the PhysicalElement.
VisibleAlarm boolean
Boolean indicating that the equipment includes a visible alarm.
Weight real32
The weight of the PhysicalPackage in pounds.
Width real32
The width of the PhysicalPackage in inches.
Read Write
OtherIdentifyingInfo string
OtherIdentifyingInfo captures data in addition to Tag information. This information could be used to identify a Physical Element. One example is bar code data associated with an Element that also has an asset tag. If only bar code data is available and is unique or able to be used as an Element key, this property would be null and the bar code data would be used as the class key, in the Tag property.
