Dell Command | Monitor Version 9.1 Reference Guide

The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition, the user-friendly name can be used as an index property for a search or query.

Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following preferred algorithm:

<OrgID> : <LocalID>

Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID> . <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. For DMTF-defined instances, the preferred algorithm must be used with the <OrgID>set to CIM.

This property specifies the upper bound, or maximum amount of resource that is granted for this allocation. For example, a system which supports memory paging may support setting the Limit of a Memory allocation below that of the VirtualQuantity, thus forcing paging to occur for this allocation.

When power is consumed by or allocated to a ManagedSystemElement, there may be well-known or meaningful levels of allocation or consumption for the ManagedSystemElement. The PowerAllocationSettingPurpose property may be used to identify the well known level or provide context for the interpretation of the other values of the PowerAllocationSettingData instance. A value of MaxConAuxiliary indicates that the instance provides information about the maximum power allocated or consumed by the ManagedSystemElement as currently configured, while the ManagedSystemElement is turned off and drawing auxiliary power. Note that an alternate name for auxiliary power is trickle power.

Possible values are:

• 1 = Other
• 2 = MaxConAuxiliary
• 3 = MinWhenOn — Indicates the instance provides information about the minimum value for power consumption for which a configuration of the ManagedSystemElement exists such that when it is powered on and operating in that configuration, the power consumption of the ManagedSystemElement is guaranteed not to exceed the specified amount.
• 4 = MaxAsConfigured — Indicates that the instance provides information about the maximum power that may be allocated to or consumed by the ManagedSystemElement as currently configured while powered on. The actual power consumed may be less.
• 5 = MaxIfAllHotPlug — Indicates that the instance provides information about the maximum power allocated or consumed by the ManagedSystemElement if all components that could be added to the ManagedSystemElement without requiring a power cycle of the ManagedSystemElement were added to the ManagedSystemElement.
• 6 = MaxIfAllColdPlug — Indicates that the instance provides information about the maximum power allocated or consumed by the ManagedSystemElement if all components that could be added to the ManagedSystemElement, including those that require a power cycle of the ManagedSystemElement, were added to the ManagedSystemElement.
• 7 = Allocated — Indicates that the instance provides information about the current power allocated to the ManagedSystemElement.
• 8 = MinWithoutDegradation — Indicates that the instance provides information about the minimum power allocated or consumed by the ManagedSystemElement without causing performance degradation.
