8 Methods 445
This section details the requirements for supporting extrinsic methods for the CIM elements defined by 446
this profile. 447
8.1 DCIM_SystemManagementService.SetAttribute() 448
The SetAttribute( ) method is used to set or change the value of a system attribute. 449
Invocation of the SetAttribute( ) method shall change the value of the attribute’s CurrentValue or 450
attribute’s PendingValue property to the value specified by the AttributeValue parameter if the attribute’s 451
IsReadOnly property is FALSE. If this method is invoked when the attribute’s IsReadOnly property is 452
TRUE, it shall result in no change to the value of the attribute’s CurrentValue property. The result of 453
changing this value is described with the SetResult parameter. 454
Return code values for the SetAttribute() method are specified in Table 21 and parameters are specified 455
in Table 22. Invoking the SetAttribute( ) method multiple times can result in the earlier requests being 456
overwritten or lost. 457
