CIM_LogicalElement 63
CIM_SoftwareElement
The CIM_SoftwareElement class described in Table 3-34 is used to define a CIM_SoftwareFeature. The
CIM_SoftwareElement class consists of individually manageable or deployable parts for a particular
platform. A software element’s platform is uniquely identified by its underlying hardware architecture
and operating system (for example, a system running Microsoft
®
Windows NT
®
on an Intel
microprocessor). A software element’s implementation on a particular platform depends on the
platform’s operating system.
CacheType Defines whether this cache is for instruction caching, data
caching, or both (unified). Values for the CacheType property
are as follows:
1 Other
2 Unknown
3 Instruction
4 Data
5 Unified
uint16
LineSize Indicates the size, in bytes, of a single cache bucket or line. uint32
ReadPolicy Defines the policy used by the cache for handling read requests.
Values for the ReadPolicy property are as follows:
1 Other
2 Unknown
3 Read
4 Read-ahead
5 Read and read-ahead
6 Determination per I/O
