CIM_PhysicalElement
CIM_PhysicalComponent
- Known Subclasses:
- CIM_Chip CIM_PhysicalMemory
class CIM_PhysicalComponent
- extends CIM_PhysicalElement
General Information:
The PhysicalComponent class represents any
low-level or basic Component within a Package. A Component object either can not
or does not need to be decomposed into its constituent parts. For example, an
ASIC (or Chip) can not be further decomposed. A tape for data storage
(PhysicalMedia) does not need to be decomposed. Any PhysicalElement that is not
a Link, Connector, or Package is a descendent (or member) of this class. For
example, the UART chipset on an internal modem Card would be a subclass (if
additional properties or associations are defined) or an instance of
PhysicalComponent.

Tag
public string Tag
- General Information:
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.

OperationalStatus
public uint16[] OperationalStatus
- General Information:
Indicates the current statuses of the
element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's
values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in
more detail.
"Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but
needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and
so on.
"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 state and configuration of the element might need to be
updated.
"Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
"Supporting Entity in Error" indicates that this element might 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 that the element has completed its
operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so
that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed),
Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation
finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
"Power
Mode" indicates that the element has additional power model information
contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
"Relocating" indicates the element is being
relocated.
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
because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the
existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly
recommended that providers or 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
(because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the
element.

StatusDescriptions
public string[] StatusDescriptions
- General Information:
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. Note that entries in this array are
correlated with those at the same array index in
OperationalStatus.

Status
public string Status
- General Information:
A 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 definition overcomes the
limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a
multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.
2)
A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
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.

HealthState
public uint16 HealthState
- General Information:
Indicates the current health of the
element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not
necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where
5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely
non-functional. The following continuum is defined:
"Non-recoverable
Error" (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible.
All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
"Critical
Failure" (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be
possible.
"Major Failure" (20) - The element is failing. It is possible
that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not
working.
"Minor Failure" (15) - All functionality is available but some
might be degraded.
"Degraded/Warning" (10) - The element is in working
order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working
to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating
at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors.
"OK"
(5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal
operational parameters and without error.
"Unknown" (0) - The
implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has
reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in
the future.

RemovalConditions
public uint16 RemovalConditions
- General Information:
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'.

Removable
public boolean Removable
- General Information:
The use of this property is being
deprecated. Instead RemovalConditions should be used. The RemovalConditions
property addresses whether a PhysicalComponent is removable with or without
power being applied.
A PhysicalComponent 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
Component can still be Removable if power must be 'off' in order to perform
the removal. If power can be 'on' and the Component removed, then the Element
is both Removable and HotSwappable. For example, an upgradeable Processor chip
is
Removable.
Qualifiers:
-------------
Deprecated={CIM_PhysicalComponent.RemovalConditions}
Replaceable
public boolean Replaceable
- General Information:
The use of this property is being
deprecated because it is redundant with the FRU class and its associations. A
PhysicalComponent 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. All Removable
Components are inherently
Replaceable.
Qualifiers:
-------------
Deprecated={No
value}
HotSwappable
public boolean HotSwappable
- General Information:
The use of this property is being
deprecated. Instead RemovalConditions should be used. The RemovalConditions
property addresses whether a PhysicalComponent is removable with or without
power being applied.
A PhysicalComponent 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 fan Component may be designed to be HotSwappable. All HotSwappable
Components are inherently Removable and
Replaceable.
