DELL_PSRedundancy Glossary Index . 6 Contents 82 Introduction This reference guide documents the Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator Common Information Model (CIM) provider contained in the Management Object File (MOF) dccim32.mof. CIM provides a conceptual model for describing manageable objects in a systems management environment. CIM is a modeling tool rather than a programming language. CIM provides the structure for organizing objects into a model of a managed environment. For modeling a managed environment, CIM makes available a set of abstract and concrete classes of objects. These classes model the basic characteristics of systems, networks, and applications, as well as groupings of management-related data. For more information about CIM, see the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) website at www.dmtf.org and the Microsoft® website at www.microsoft.com. Server Administrator Server Administrator 1.0 or later provides a suite of systems management information for keeping track of your networked systems. In addition to providing systems management agents that are independent of the management console, Server Administrator supports these systems management standards: CIM and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). In addition to supporting systems management industry standards, Server Administrator provides additional systems management information about the specific components of your Dell™ system. Documenting CIM Classes and Their Properties The Dell CIM provider extends support to Dell-specific software and hardware components. The Dell MOF defines the classes for the Dell CIM provider. All of the supported classes and properties in the MOF are documented in this guide. The following subsections define some of the basic building blocks of CIM classes that are used in describing the dccim32 provider name. These subsections also explain how the elements used in describing these classes are organized. This section does not document the entire CIM schema, but only those classes and properties supported by the dccim32 provider. The list of properties for each supported class varies greatly. Introduction 7 Base Classes The classes listed in the Server Administrator CIM provider class hierarchy do not have a parent property. These base classes do not derive from another class. The base classes are: • CIM_ManagedSystemElement • CIM_Dependency • DELL_Esm Log • DELL_PostLog • DELL_CMApplication • DELL_CMDevice • DELL_CMDeviceApplications • DELL_CMInventory • DELL_CMOS • DELL_CMProductInfo The CIM_ManagedSystemElement class is the base class for the system element hierarchy from which all other CIM classes are derived. As a result, CIM_ManagedSystemElement has no parent. Examples of managed system elements include software components such as files, devices such as hard drives and controllers, and physical subcomponents of devices such as chip sets and cards. For the CIM_ManagedSystemElement properties, see Caption, CreationClassName, Description, Name, and Status in Table 1-2, "Common Properties of Classes." The Dell-defined classes are not defined in the official schema by the DMTF, the industry group that defines the standards for CIM, and hence do not have parent classes. CIM_Dependency does not have a parent class because it is a relationship or association between two managed system elements. Parent Classes Most classes in the dccim32 provider document both a Class Name and a Parent Class property. The parent class is the class from which any given class inherits its core properties. For example, the CIM_Controller class has the CIM_LogicalDevice class as its parent, and has various types of controllers (CIM_ParallelController, CIM_SerialController) as its children. Classes That Describe Relationships Classes that derive from CIM_Dependency have CIM_Dependency as their parent class, but they are documented in terms of antecedent and dependent elements in a relationship rather than in terms of common properties. Consider the following relationship between two CIM_ManagedSystemElements: 8 Antecedent CIM_PackageCurrentSensor Dependent CIM_PhysicalPackage Introduction The CIM_PackageCurrentSensor monitors an entire physical package, such as all the components contained in a given system chassis. The CIM_PhysicalPackage is dependent on the CIM_PackageCurrentSensor for this monitoring function. Dell-defined Classes Server Administrator has extended some CIM classes and has created new classes to assist in managing systems and their components. In the diagrams that appear in the documentation for each class, those classes created and populated by Dell are designated by the gold (lighter gray) triangle icon. Typographical Conventions The following example shows how most of the classes in the Dell CIM provider are documented. Table 1-1 shows a partial class description for the DELL_DMA class. (For a full class description, see Table 3-41, "CIM_DMA Properties.") Class Name appears in Courier typeface and provides the string that names the class in the MOF. Parent Class appears in Courier typeface and provides the name of the class from which the present class is derived. Property denotes the name of the attribute that is being defined for this class. Description includes text that defines the property. Data Type stipulates the format that the values of this property must take. Common data types include Boolean, string, and various types of integer. Boolean indicates that the property must be expressed as one of two alternatives. Table 1-1. CIM_DMA Properties Class Name: CIM_DMA Parent Class: CIM_SystemResource Property Description Data Type DMAChannel A part of the object’s key value, the DMA channel number. uint32 Availability Availability of the DMA. Availability values are defined as follows: uint16 1 Other 2 Unknown 3 Available 4 In Use/Not Available 5 In Use and Available/Shareable Introduction 9 Common Properties of Classes Many classes have properties such as Caption, Description, and CreationClassName. Table 1-2 defines properties that have the same meaning in every class that has this property and are defined more than once in this guide. Table 1-2. 10 Common Properties of Classes Property Description Data Type Caption Describes the object using a short textual description (one-line string). string 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. string CSCreationClassName Indicates the computer system’s creation class name. string CSName Indicates the computer system’s name. string CurrentReading Indicates the actual current value indicated by the sint32 sensor in amperes. Description Provides a textual description of the object. string LowerThresholdNonCritical If current reading is between lower threshold noncritical and upper threshold noncritical, the current state is normal. See Figure 3-2. sint32 LowerThresholdCritical If the current reading is between upper threshold sint32 critical and upper threshold fatal, the current state is critical. See Figure 3-2. IsLinear Indicates that the sensor is linear over its dynamic range. Manufacturer Provides the name of the organization responsible string for producing the CIM_PhysicalElement or CIM_SoftwareElement. This may be the entity from whom the element is purchased, but not necessarily. Purchase information is contained in the Vendor property of CIM_Product. Name Defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property. Introduction Boolean string Table 1-2. Common Properties of Classes (continued) Property Description Data Type Status Provides a string indicating how well the component is functioning—comparable to "health." Status values for operational and nonoperational conditions include: string Operational Status Values: OK indicates that the object is functioning normally. Degraded means that the item is functioning, but not optimally. Stressed indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of Stressed states are overloaded, overheated, and so on. Nonoperational Status Values: Non-recover means that a nonrecoverable error has occurred. Error means that an element has encountered an operational condition that is severe as compared to its normal mode of operation. SystemCreationClassName Indicates the system’s creation class name. string UnitModifier Provides the unit multiplier for the values returned sint32 by this sensor. All the values returned by this sensor are represented in units of 10 raised to the power of the unit modifier. If the unit modifier is –6, then the units of the values returned are microvolts. The units apply to all numeric properties of the sensor, unless explicitly overridden by the units’ qualifier. UpperThresholdCritical If the current reading is between upper threshold critical and upper threshold fatal, the current status is critical. See Figure 3-2. UpperThresholdNonCritical If the current reading is between lower threshold sint32 noncritical and lower threshold critical, the current status is noncritical. See Figure 3-2. Version Version should be in the form. . or . ; for example, 1.2.3 or 1.2a3. sint32 string Introduction 11 Other Documents You May Need Besides this Dell OpenManage Server Administrator CIM Reference Guide, you can find the following guides either on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com or on the documentation CD: 12 • Server Administrator Online Help is context-sensitive help that you can access while running Server Administrator.

The CIM_PhysicalElement class contains the subclasses shown in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1. CIM_PhysicalElement Class Structure CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalPackage CIM_PhysicalFrame CIM_Chassis DELL_Chassis CIM_PhysicalComponent CIM_Chip CIM_PhysicalMemory CIM_PhysicalConnector CIM_Slot CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement Subclasses of the CIM_PhysicalElement class listed in Table 2-1 define any component of a system that has a distinct physical identity. Physical elements are tangible managed system elements (usually actual hardware items) that have a physical manifestation of some sort. By contrast, processes, files, and logical devices are not classified as physical elements. A managed system element is not necessarily a discrete component. A single card (which is a type of physical element) can host more than one logical device. One card, for example, could implement both a modem and a local area network (LAN) adapter. In this case, the card would be represented by a single physical element associated with multiple logical devices. CIM_PhysicalElement 13 Table 2-1. CIM_PhysicalElement Properties Class Name: CIM_PhysicalElement Parent Class: CIM_ManagedSystemElement Property Description CreationClassName See Table 1-2, “Common Properties of Classes.” Manufacturer See Table 1-2, “Common Properties of Classes.” Model The name by which the physical element is generally known. string SerialNumber A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the physical element. Tag Uniquely identifies the physical element and serves as the string element’s key. The Tag property can contain information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for physical element is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order to identify the hardware/entity independently, regardless of physical placement in or on cabinets, adapters, and so on. For example, a hot-swappable or removable component can be taken from its containing (scoping) package and temporarily unused. The object still continues to exist and may even be inserted into a different scoping container. Therefore, the key for physical element is an arbitrary string that is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy. Data Type string CIM_PhysicalPackage CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalPackage The CIM_PhysicalPackage class listed in Table 2-2 represents physical elements that contain or host other components. Examples are a rack enclosure or an adapter card with multiple functions. 14 CIM_PhysicalElement Table 2-2. CIM_PhysicalPackage Properties Class Name: CIM_PhysicalPackage Parent Class: CIM_PhysicalElement Property Description Removable A CIM_PhysicalPackage is removable if it is designed to be Boolean taken in and out of the physical container in which it is normally found without impairing the function of the overall package. Replaceable A CIM_PhysicalPackage is replaceable if it is possible to Boolean substitute a physically different element for the original element, as in a field replaceable unit (FRU). For example, some computer systems allow the microprocessor to be upgraded to one of a higher clock rating. In this case, the microprocessor is said to be replaceable. Data Type CIM_PhysicalFrame CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalPackage CIM_PhysicalFrame The CIM_PhysicalFrame class described in Table 2-3 contains other frame enclosures such as racks and chassis. Properties like VisibleAlarm or AudibleAlarm, and data related to security breaches are also members of this class. Table 2-3. CIM_Physical Frame Properties Class Name: CIM_PhysicalFrame Parent Class: CIM_PhysicalPackage Property Description LockPresent Indicates whether the frame is protected with a lock. Boolean AudibleAlarm Indicates whether the frame is equipped with an audible alarm. Boolean VisibleAlarm Indicates that the equipment includes a visible alarm.

DELL_Chassis inherits from CIM-defined classes, but is populated by Dell™ properties. CIM_PhysicalElement 17 Table 2-5. 18 DELL_Chassis Properties Class Name: DELL_Chassis Parent Class: CIM_Chassis Property Description AssetTag Indicates the container AssetTag string. This asset tag string string is writable by the system administrator. SystemClass Refers to the system type that is installed and running the instrumentation. Values for the SystemClass property are as follows: 1 Other 2 Unknown 3 Workstation 4 Server 5 Desktop 6 Portable 7 Net PC uint16 SystemID Indicates the system identifier code uint16 LogFormat Defines whether the event log data is unicode formatted or binary (raw). Values for the event LogFormat property are as follows: 1 Formatted (event log only) 2 Unformatted 3 Events_and_POST_Formatted (both the event log and the power-on self-test (POST) log are unicode formatted) uint16 FanStatus Indicates the global status of fan sensors. string TempStatus Indicates the global status of temperature sensors. string VoltStatus Indicates the global status of voltage sensors. string AmpStatus Indicates the global status of current sensors. string PsStatus Indicates the global status of power supplies. string MemStatus Indicates the global status of memory devices. string ProcStatus Indicates the global status of processor devices. string FanRedStatus Indicates the global status of the cooling unit. string PsRedStatus Indicates the global status of the power unit. string IsDefaultThrSupported Indicates whether resetting default thresholds are supported. Boolean CIM_PhysicalElement Data Type CIM_PhysicalComponent CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalComponent The CIM_PhysicalComponent class listed in Table 2-6 represents any low-level or basic component within a package. A component object either cannot or does not need to be broken down into its constituent parts. For example, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) cannot be broken down into smaller discrete parts. Table 2-6.

A value of TRUE indicates that the IRQ can be shared. Boolean Hardware Indicates whether the interrupt is hardware- or Boolean software-based. (A value of TRUE indicates that the interrupt is hardware based.) On a personal computer, a hardware IRQ is a physical wire to a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) chip set through which the microprocessor can be notified of time critical events. Some IRQ lines are reserved for standard devices such as the keyboard, diskette drive, and the system clock. A software interrupt is a programmatic mechanism to allow an application to get the attention of the processor.

CIM_Dependency Glossary The following list defines or identifies technical terms, abbreviations, and acronyms used in user documents. Array Manager A systems management application that allows you to manage and configure SCSI and Fibre Channel RAID controllers through a common user interface. asset tag code An individual code assigned to a computer, usually by a system administrator, for security or tracking purposes. attribute An attribute, or property, contains a specific piece of information about a manageable component. For example, a component can have attributes for settings, capabilities, and status. CIM Acronym for Common Information Model, which is a model for describing management information from the DMTF. CIM is implementation independent, allowing different management applications to collect the required data from a variety of sources. CIM includes schemas for systems, networks, applications, and devices. It provides mapping techniques for interchange of CIM data with MIB data from SNMP agents. and managed using a systems management console capable of receiving CIM information. Managed system elements can have various levels of complexity, from rack systems containing multiple servers and storage systems, to individual fans, power supplies, processors, and chips. Physical objects that contain systems can be associated with the CIM_PhysicalPackage class. Managed objects of intermediate complexity can be represented by such classes as CIM_SoftwareElement or CIM_PowerSupplyRedundancy. Simple managed system elements can be represented by classes such as CIM_Processor. component Manageable components are operating systems, computer systems, expansion cards, or peripherals that are compatible with a systems management standard such as CIM and SNMP. Each component is made up of groups and attributes that are defined as relevant to that component. controller A chip that controls the transfer of data between the microprocessor and memory or between the microprocessor and a peripheral device such as a disk drive or the keyboard. CIMOM Acronym for common information model object manager. CI/O Acronym for comprehensive input/output. class For the purposes of the Dell CIM provider, a class is a set of managed system elements that can be monitored DMTF Abbreviation for Distributed Management Task Force, a consortium of companies representing hardware and software providers. ix86 Variable used to represent microprocessors such as Intel® i386™, i486™, and so forth. Glossary 89 IHV MOF Acronym for independent hardware vendor. IHVs often develop their own SNMP MIBs for components that they manufacture. A MOF is a management object file that models objects in a systems management environment. The MOF models the relationships between different managed objects. For example, the CIM_RedundancyGroup is a parent class for components that are so critical to the proper functioning of a system that the system is designed to have additional critical components. When a critical component fails, redundancy allows the system to continue operation because there are other components that can compensate for the loss. The DELL_PowerSupply and DELL_FanRedundancy classes are derived from the CIM redundancy group. The relationship is one of child to parent. IT Assistant A comprehensive systems management application that integrates event management, configuration management, and asset management for systems distributed throughout an enterprise. MIB Acronym for management information base. A MIB is used to send detailed status/commands from or to an SNMP managed device. RAID MOF Acronym for redundant array of independent disks. Acronym for managed object format, which is an ASCII file that contains the formal definition of a CIM schema. response file NIC Acronym for network interface controller. set operation property A property is a capability or characteristic of a CIM class. The temperature probe class, for example, has a property that describes its thresholds for normal, lower critical, and upper critical ranges of operation. Defining where normal operation ends and where critical temperatures begin determines when warnings should be sent to the systems manager for corrective action. Every property has a Description and a Data Type. The Description provides a brief explanation of what a particular managed object does. The Data Type specifies the form that the values of a property must take. For example, some values are bit fields and others are integers or strings. provider A provider is an extension of a CIM schema that communicates with managed objects. The provider accesses data and generates event notifications from a variety of sources. The Dell CIM provider extends the standard CIM schema to make it easier to manage systems. 90 The file that records the features that an administrator wants to incorporate into an unattended installation is called a “response file” or an “answer file.” Glossary An operation used to write or “set” data to MIB variables maintained by the SNMP agent. SNMP Abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is an industry-standard interface that allows a network manager to remotely monitor and manage workstations. unattended installation An unattended installation requires far less operator involvement than an interactive installation. Also called a “silent installation,” unattended installation programs record the administrator’s preferences about which features of an application program to install. The file that records these installation feature preferences is called a “response file” or an “answer file.” System administrators typically create packages that include the response file and any other files needed to install the program, distribute the package to multiple systems, and activate the unattended installation.
