Introduction This reference guide documents the Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator Common Information Model (CIM) provider contained in the Management Object File (MOF) dccim32.mof. CIM provides a conceptual model for describing manageable objects in a systems management environment. CIM is a modeling tool rather than a programming language. CIM provides the structure for organizing objects into a model of a managed environment.
Base Classes The classes listed in the Server Administrator CIM provider class hierarchy do not have a parent property. These base classes do not derive from another class.
The CIM_PackageCurrentSensor monitors an entire physical package, such as all the components contained in a given system chassis. The CIM_PhysicalPackage is dependent on the CIM_PackageCurrentSensor for this monitoring function. Dell-defined Classes Server Administrator has extended some CIM classes and has created new classes to assist in managing systems and their components.
Common Properties of Classes Many classes have properties such as Caption, Description, and CreationClassName. Table 1-2 defines properties that have the same meaning in every class that has this property and are defined more than once in this guide. Table 1-2. 10 Common Properties of Classes Property Description Data Type Caption Describes the object using a short textual description (one-line string).
Table 1-2. Common Properties of Classes (continued) Property Description Data Type Status Provides a string indicating how well the component is functioning—comparable to "health." Status values for operational and nonoperational conditions include: string Operational Status Values: OK indicates that the object is functioning normally. Degraded means that the item is functioning, but not optimally. Stressed indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention.
Other Documents You May Need Besides this Dell OpenManage Server Administrator CIM Reference Guide, you can find the following guides either on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com or on the documentation CD: 12 • Server Administrator Online Help is context-sensitive help that you can access while running Server Administrator. Help screens provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform systems management tasks using Server Administrator.
CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalElement is a CIM-defined class. The CIM_PhysicalElement class contains the subclasses shown in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1.
CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement Subclasses of the CIM_PhysicalElement class listed in Table 2-1 define any component of a system that has a distinct physical identity. Physical elements are tangible managed system elements (usually actual hardware items) that have a physical manifestation of some sort. By contrast, processes, files, and logical devices are not classified as physical elements. A managed system element is not necessarily a discrete component.
CIM_PhysicalPackage CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalPackage The CIM_PhysicalPackage class listed in Table 2-2 represents physical elements that contain or host other components. Examples are a rack enclosure or an adapter card with multiple functions. Table 2-2.
CIM_PhysicalFrame CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalPackage CIM_PhysicalFrame The CIM_PhysicalFrame class described in Table 2-3 contains other frame enclosures such as racks and chassis. Properties like VisibleAlarm or AudibleAlarm, and data related to security breaches are also members of this class. Table 2-3.

If there are no error correction bits, the value in this property should match that specified for the DataWidth property.
CIM_PhysicalConnector CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalConnector The CIM_PhysicalConnector class explained in Table 2-9 includes physical elements such as plugs, jacks, or buses that connect physical elements. Any object that can be used to connect and transmit signals or power between two or more physical elements is a member of this class. For example, slots and D-shell connectors are types of physical connectors. See Table 2-10 for a list of valid connector type values.
Table 2-10. Connector Type Values 0 Unknown 30 unused 60 Micro-DIN 90 On Board IDE Connector 1 Other 31 unused 61 PS/2 91 On Board Floppy Connector 2 Male 32 IEEE-48 62 Infrared 92 9 Pin Dual Inline 3 Female 33 AUI 63 unused 93 25 Pin Dual Inline 4 Shielded 34 UTP Category 3 64 Access.
CIM_Slot CIM_ManagedSystemElement CIM_PhysicalElement CIM_PhysicalConnector CIM_Slot The CIM_Slot class described in Table 2-11 represents connectors into which packages are inserted. For example, a physical package that is a hard drive can be inserted into a small computer system interface-single connector attachment (SCSI-SCA) slot. As another example, a card can be inserted into a 16-, 32-, or 64-bit expansion slot on a host board. Table 2-11.
