Class CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData
extends CIM_SettingData

The ResourceAllocationSettingData class represents settings specifically related to an allocated resource that are outside the scope of the CIM class typically used to represent the resource itself. These settings include information specific to the allocation that may not be visible to the consumer of the resource itself. For example, a virtual processor may look like a 2 ghz processor to the consumer (virtual computer system), however the virtualization system may use time-slicing to schedule the the virtual processor to only allow it to use 1 ghz.

NameData TypeDefault ValueQualifiers
NameData TypeValue
Addressstring
DescriptionstringThe address of the resource.For example, the MAC address of a Ethernet port.
AllocationUnitsstring
DescriptionstringThis property specifies the units of allocation used by the Reservation and Limit properties. For example, when ResourceType=Processor, AllocationUnits may be set to hertz*10^6 or percent. When ResourceType=Memory, AllocationUnits may be set to bytes*10^3. The value of this property shall be a legal value of the Programmatic Units qualifier as defined in Appendix C.1 of DSP0004 V2.4 or later.
IsPUnitbooleantrue
AutomaticAllocationboolean
DescriptionstringThis property specifies if the resource will be automatically allocated. For example when set to true, when the consuming virtual computer system is powered on, this resource would be allocated. A value of false indicates the resource must be explicitly allocated. For example, the setting may represent removable media (cdrom, floppy, etc.) where at power on time, the media isnot present. An explicit operation is required to allocate the resource.
AutomaticDeallocationboolean
DescriptionstringThis property specifies if the resource will be automatically de-allocated. For example, when set to true, when the consuming virtual computer system is powered off, this resource would be de-allocated. When set to false, the resource will remain allocated and must be explicitly de-allocated.
ConsumerVisibilityuint16
DescriptionstringDescribes the consumers visibility to the allocated resource. A value of "Passed-Through" indicates the underlying or host resource is utilized and passed through to the consumer, possibly using partitioning. At least one item shall be present in the HostResource property. A value of "Virtualized" indicates the resource is virtualized and may not map directly to an underlying/host resource. Some implementations may support specific assignment for virtualized resources, in which case the host resource(s) are exposed using the HostResource property. A value of "Not represented" indicates a representation of the resource does not exist within the context of the resource consumer.
ValueMapstring0, 2, 3, 4, .., 32767..65535
ValuesstringUnknown, Passed-Through, Virtualized, Not represented, DMTF reserved, Vendor Reserved
Limituint64
DescriptionstringThis property specifies the upper bound, or maximum amount of resource that will be granted for this allocation. For example, a system which supports memory paging may support setting the Limit of a Memory allocation below that of the VirtualQuantity, thus forcing paging to occur for this allocation.
MappingBehavioruint16
DescriptionstringSpecifies how this resource maps to underlying resourcesIf the HostResource array contains any entries, this property reflects how the resource maps to those specific resources.
ValueMapstring0, 2, 3, 4, 5, .., 32767..65535
ValuesstringUnknown, Not Supported, Dedicated, Soft Affinity, Hard Affinity, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved
OtherResourceTypestring
DescriptionstringA string that describes the resource type when a well defined value is not available and ResourceType has the value "Other".
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.ResourceType
Parentstring
DescriptionstringThe Parent of the resource.For example, a controller for the current allocation
PoolIDstring
DescriptionstringThis property specifies which ResourcePool the resource is currently allocated from, or which ResourcePool the resource will be allocated from when the allocation occurs.
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_ResourcePool.PoolId
Reservationuint64
DescriptionstringThis property specifies the amount of resource guaranteed to be available for this allocation. On system which support over-commitment of resources, this value is typically used for admission control to prevent an an allocation from being accepted thus preventing starvation.
ResourceSubTypestring
DescriptionstringA string describing an implementation specific sub-type for this resource. For example, this may be used to distinguish different models of the same resource type.
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.ResourceType
ResourceTypeuint16
DescriptionstringThe type of resource this allocation setting represents.
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.OtherResourceType, CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData.ResourceSubType
ValueMapstring1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, .., 0x8000..0xFFFF

VirtualQuantityuint64
DescriptionstringThis property specifies the quantity of resources presented to the consumer. For example, when ResourceType=Processor, this property would reflect the number of discrete Processors presented to the virtual computer system. When ResourceType=Memory, this property could reflect the number of MB reported to the virtual computer system.
Weightuint32
DescriptionstringThis property specifies a relative priority for this allocation in relation to other allocations from the same ResourcePool. This property has no unit of measure, and is only relevant when compared to other allocations vying for the same host resources.
Connectionstring[]
DescriptionstringThe thing to which this resource is connected. For example, a named network or switch port.
HostResourcestring[]
DescriptionstringThis property exposes specific assignment to host or underlying resources. The embedded instances shall contain only key properties and be treated as Object Paths. If the virtual resource may be scheduled on a number of underlying resources, this property shall be left NULL. In that case, the DeviceAllocatedFromPool or ResourceAllocationFromPool associations may be used to determine the pool of host resources this virtual resource may be scheduled on. If specific assignment is utilized, all underlying resources used by this virtual resource shall be listed in this array. Typically the array will contain one item, however for aggregate allocations, such as multiple processors, multiple host resources may be specified.
