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 dmtf.org and the Microsoft website at
microsoft.com.
Server Administrator
Server Administrator 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.
What’s New in This Release
The release highlights of 6.5 are:
• New enumeration value (NIC Capabilities) to the Dell_NetworkPort
class.
10 Introduction
For a list of platforms, Operating Systems, and Browsers support added and
deprecated, refer to the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 6.5
User's Guide and Dell Systems Software Support Matrix Version 6.5 at
support.dell.com/manuals.
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.
The property values being presented could be NULL or empty string on some
systems, although in general, some non-empty values can be expected. Key
properties (listed below) always carry non-empty values. It is recommended
that you use only the following properties as key attributes:
•
CIM_PhysicalElement
: CreationClassName, Tag
•
CIM_System
: CreationClassName, Name
•
CIM_LogicalDevice
: SystemCreationClassName, SystemName,
CreationClassName, DeviceID
•
CIM_Dependency

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_EsmLog
•
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 1-1.
12 Introduction
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:
The CIM_PackageCurrentSensor class monitors an entire physical
package, such as all the components contained in a given system chassis. The
CIM_PhysicalPackage class is dependent on the
CIM_PackageCurrentSensor class 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.
Antecedent CIM_PackageCurrentSensor
Dependent CIM_PhysicalPackage

CIM_PhysicalElement
CIM_PhysicalElement is a CIM-defined class. The
CIM_PhysicalElement class contains the subclasses shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. CIM_PhysicalElement Class Structure
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.
Table 2-1. CIM_PhysicalElement Properties
Class Name: CIM_PhysicalElement
Parent Class: CIM_ManagedSystemElement
Property Description Data Type
CreationClassN
ame
See Table 1-1.
Manufacturer See Table 1-1.
Model The name by which the physical element is generally
known.
string
SerialNumber A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the
physical element.
string
Tag Uniquely identifies the physical element and serves as
the element’s key. The Ta g 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.
string
CIM_PhysicalElement 21
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.
Table 2-2. CIM_PhysicalPackage Properties
Class Name: CIM_PhysicalPackage
Parent Class: CIM_PhysicalElement
Property Description Data Type
Removable A CIM_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 package.
Boolean
Replaceable A CIM_PhysicalPackage is replaceable if it is
possible to 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.
Boolean
22 CIM_PhysicalElement
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.

intended to be meaningful to a consumer, or user of a product, rather than to
explain how the product is built or packaged. When a software feature can
exist on multiple platforms or operating systems (for example, a client
component of a three-tiered client/server application might run on
Windows Server 2003), a software feature is a collection of all the software
elements for these different platforms. The users of the model must be aware
of this situation because typically they are interested in a sub-collection of the
software elements required for a particular platform.

Each class derived from CIM_Dependency has an element called an
antecedent that represents the independent object in this association,
and another element called a dependent that represents the object that is
dependent on the antecedent. For example, consider two managed system
elements: Chassis1 and PowerSupply3. Chassis1 is the antecedent element
because a managed power supply would always be either contained in,
or grouped with, a chassis.
