CIM_Dependency
The CIM_Dependency class is an association used to establish dependency
relationships between two managed system elements. CIM_Dependency
shown in Figure 5-1 does not have a parent class because it is a relationship
or association between two elements.
Figure 5-1. CIM_Dependency Class Structure
Each class derived from CIM_Dependency has an element called an
antecedent that represents the independent object in this association,
and another element called a dependent that represents the object that is
dependent on the antecedent. For example, consider two managed system
elements: Chassis1 and PowerSupply3. Chassis1 is the antecedent element
because a managed power supply would always be either contained in,
or grouped with, a chassis.
