ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringA 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. Note that ManagedSystemElement's Name property is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.None TRANSLATABLE= true

HotSwappableboolean
DeprecatedstringCIM_PhysicalPackage.RemovalConditionsTOSUBCLASS= falseNone
DescriptionstringThe 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true

OtherIdentifyingInfostring
DescriptionstringOtherIdentifyingInfo captures additional data, beyond that of Tag information, that could be used to identify a Physical Element. One example is bar code data associated with an Element that also has an asset tag. Note that if only bar code data is available and is unique/able to be used as an Element key, this property would be NULL and the bar code data used as the class key, in the Tag property.None TRANSLATABLE= true

ValuesstringUnknown, True, FalseNone TRANSLATABLE= true
Removableboolean
DeprecatedstringCIM_PhysicalPackage.RemovalConditionsTOSUBCLASS= falseNone
DescriptionstringThe 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true
RemovalConditionsuint16
DescriptionstringThe 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'.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ValueMapstring0, 2, 3, 4None None
ValuesstringUnknown, Not Applicable, Removable when off, Removable when on or offNone TRANSLATABLE= true
Replaceableboolean
DeprecatedstringNo ValueTOSUBCLASS= falseNone
DescriptionstringThe 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true
SecurityBreachuint16
DescriptionstringSecurityBreach 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true

SKUstring
DescriptionstringThe stock keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3264None None
Statusstring
DeprecatedstringCIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatusTOSUBCLASS= falseNone
DescriptionstringA string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons: 1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the Deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3210None None
ValueMapstringOK, Error, Degraded, Unknown, Pred Fail, Starting, Stopping, Service, Stressed, NonRecover, No Contact, Lost Comm, StoppedNone None
Tagstring
DescriptionstringAn arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical Element and serves as the Element's key. 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/entity, regardless of physical placement in or on Cabinets, Adapters, etc. For example, a hotswappable or removeable component may be taken from its containing (scoping) Package and be 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 and is defined independently of any placement or location-oriented hierarchy.None TRANSLATABLE= true

OperationalStatusuint16[]
ArrayTypestringIndexedNone OVERRIDABLE= false
DescriptionstringIndicates 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 exist and 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 would imply 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, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/instrumentation provide BOTH the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus SHOULD contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.None TRANSLATABLE= true
