1 Scope 1
The DCIM Profile Registration Profile defines the classes used to describe the DCIM and DMTF profile 2
registration and the version information of the profiles advertised as implemented for a managed system 3
and components of the system. The information in this specification is intended to be sufficient for a 4
provider or consumer of this data to identify unambiguously the classes, properties, methods, and values 5
that must be instantiated to represent the profile name, version, and owning organization information that 6
is modeled using the DMTF Common Information Model (CIM) Schema. 7
The Profile Registration Profile extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by adding 8
the capability to describe the registration and versioning of Common Information Model (CIM) profiles that 9
are implemented by CIM-based system and component-management instrumentation. 10
