Version 1.0.0 9
Figure 1 represents the class schema for the Persistent Storage Profile. For simplicity, the prefix CIM_
has been removed from the names of the classes.
The vFlash media and its attributes are represented by the DCIM_VFlashView class. Each partition on
the vFlash is represented by DCIM_OpaqueManagementData.
The DCIM_PersistentStorageService class is used to configure the vFlash and its partitions.
The Persistent Storage Profile information is represented with the instance of CIM_RegisteredProfile.

7 Implementation Requirements
Requirements and guidelines for propagating and formulating certain properties of the classes are
discussed in this section. Methods are listed in section 8.
Table 2 shows the instances of CIM Elements for this profile. Instances of the CIM Elements shall be
implemented as described in Table 2. Sections 7 (“Implementation Requirements” and “Methods”) may
impose additional requirements on these elements.
