9 Use Cases
This section contains object diagrams and use cases for the Power Supply Profile.
9.1 Object Diagrams
Figure 2 represents a possible instantiation of the Power Supply Profile. In this instantiation, the managed
system, system1, has a power supply, pwrsupply1. The power supply is operating, but in a degraded
state and pwrsupply1 produces 4000 milliwatts of power. pwrsupply1’s physical package information is
represented as well.
Because pwrsupply1 does not have the CIM_SuppliesPower association reference, pwrsupply1 is
supplying power to system1, which is denoted by the CIM_SystemDevice association. system1 is also the
scoping instance for pwrsupply1. Following the CIM_ElementConformsToProfile association to profile1,
and then the referenced CIM_ReferencedProfile association to a CIM_RegisteredProfile instance with the
RegisteredName property set to “Power Supply Profile”, the client can retrieve profile2. profile2 will show
the version of the current Power Supply Profile implementation.
For simplicity, the prefix CIM_ has been removed from the names of the classes in the figure.
