Table 2. Profiles (continued)
Profile Name Description
Role Based
Authorization
The DCIM Role Based Authorization Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running
system management tasks related to the authorization.
Sensors The DCIM Sensors Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running system management
tasks related to the management of sensors within a system.
Simple ID Management The DCIM Simple Identity Management Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running
system management tasks related to the management of accounts and identities.
Simple Raid The profile extends the management capabilities to represent the configuration of RAID storage. The
RAID storage is modeled as collections of attributes for the storage adaptors, physical disks, logical
disks, end enclosures, and parent-child relationships between the collections.
Service Processor The DCIM Service Processor Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running system
management tasks related to the management of the service processor and iDRAC.
Simple NIC
The Simple NIC Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the
capability to represent the configuration of NIC network controllers.
Virtual Address Management is supported by setting attributes of VirtMacAddr, VirtIscsiMacAddr,
VirtFIPMacAddr, VirtWWN, VirtWWPN, and VirtualizationMode.
Software Inventory The Dell Software Inventory Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by
adding the capability to represent the software inventory of system.
Software Update
The Software Update Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding
the capability to update platform firmware or software.
DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService: installfromRepository and DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService:
GetRepoBasedUpdateList allows updates from update repository.
Solid-state Drive (SSD) wear-level odometer: Ability to provide lifetime/wear out of SSD drives
attached to PERC controller.
DIF drive reporting: PowerEdge RAID Controller 9 (PERC 9) is adding support for PI (Protection
Information) drives. These protection fields are known as DIF (Data Integrity Fields) and drives
supporting PI are also known as DIF drives. The data integrity field provides additional data
robustness by providing CRC such as data validation at every level in the RAID stack.
System Info The DCIM System Info Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running system
management tasks related to the management of the host system.
System QuickSync The DCIM System QuickSync profile document describes the properties and interfaces used for
system management tasks related to the management of QuickSync or NFC devices within a system.
USB device The DCIM USB Device profile describes the properties and interfaces for the system management
tasks related to the USB devices within a system.
Video The DCIM Video Profile describes the properties and interfaces for running system management
tasks related to the management of video controllers within a system.
Virtual Media The DCIM Virtual Media Profile describes the properties for running system management tasks
related to managing the Virtual Media functionality.
WSMAN MOF WSDL and XSD API definitions
A complement to the profile documentation is the Managed Object File (MOF) that documents the class implementation of
the Dell-specific CIM classes. Web Service Description Language (WSDL) and XML Schema Definition (XSD) files describe the
resulting functionality.
