Property Description
to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID> . <LocalID> is chosen 
by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) 
elements. If the above preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that 
the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other 
providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the 
preferred 
algorithm must be used with the <OrgID>set to CIM.
MinNumberNeeded
MinNumberNeeded indicates the smallest number of elements that MUST be operational in 
order to function. For example, in an N+1 redundancy relationship, the MinNumberNeeded 
property is set equal to N. In a 'LimitedSparing' environment, this property is meaningless 
and SHOULD be set to zero.
RedundancyStatus 
RedundancyStatus provides information on the state of the RedundancyGroup.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = DMTF Reserved
• 2 = Fully Redundant — Indicates that all of the configured redundancy is still available
• 3 = Degraded Redundancy — Indicates that some configured elements are degraded, 
missing or failed but that the number of elements in the set is still greater than the 
minimum required (MinNumberNeeded);
• 4 = Redundancy Lost — Indicates that sufficient configured elements are missing or 
failed that no redundancy is available and the next failure experienced will cause overall 
failure.
• 5 = Overall Failure — Indicates that there has been an overall failure of the 
RedundancySet.
TypeOfSet 
TypeOfSet provides information on the type of redundancy. - N+1 (=2) indicates all 
members are active, are unaware and function independent of one another. However, there 
exist at least one extra member to achieve functionality. Sparing is implied (i.e. each 
member can be a spare for the other(s). An example of N+1 is a system that has 2 power 
supplies, but needs only 1 power supply to functioning properly.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = N+1
• 3 = Load Balanced — Indicates all members are active. However, there functionality is 
not independent of each other. Their functioning is determined by some sort of load 
balancing algorithm (implemented in hardware and/or software). 
Sparing is implied (i.e. 
each member can be a spare for the other(s).
• 4 = Sparing — Indicates that all members are active and are aware of each others. 
However, their functionality is independent until failover. Each member can be a spare 
for the other(s).
• 5 = Limited Sparing — Indicates that all members are active, and they may or may not 
be aware of each and they are not spares for each other. Instead, their redundancy is 
indicated by the IsSpare relationship.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved

Property Description
CommonName
A Common Name is a (possibly ambiguous) name by which the role is commonly known in 
some limited scope (such as an organization) and conforms to the naming conventions of 
the country or culture with which it is associated.
