Dell Command | Monitor Version 9.1 Reference Guide

Dell Command | Monitor uses industry standard profiles to represent the management data provided. These profiles are implemented either as defined or in some cases have Dell-specific extensions.

The following is a list of profiles that are implemented in this version of Dell Command | Monitor:

Non-extended profiles:

• Base Metrics — The Base Metrics Profile is a component profile that defines the minimum object model needed to provide dynamic metrics associated to existing managed element s and related associations.
• Battery — The Battery Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent batteries for manageability. The battery as a logical device is modeled as referencing the battery physical package for physical asset information, the sensor for sensor-reading information, and the profile registration for the schema implementation version information.
• BIOS Management — The BIOS Management Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent and configure BIOS attributes, such as a Network Controller or IDE Controller. The individual BIOS attribute’s relationship with a respective device is also described.
• Boot Control — The Boot Control Profile describes the classes, associations, properties, and methods used to manage the boot control configurations of a physical or virtual computer system.
• CPU — The CPU Profile extends the management capability of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent CPUs or processors in a managed system . CPU cache memory and associations with CPU physical aspects, as well as profile implementation version information, are modeled in this profile.
• Fan — The Fan Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent fans for manageability and describe fans in a redundant configuration. The fan as a logical device is modeled as referencing the fan physical package for physical asset information, a sensor for sensor reading information.
• Indications — The Indications Profile defines the CIM elements that are used to subscribe for indications of unsolicited events, to advertise the possible indications, and to represent indications used to report events in a managed system.
• IP Interface — The IP Interface Profile extends the management capability of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent an IP interface of a managed system.
• OS Status — The OS Status Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to perform basic management of operating systems installed on a system.
• PCI Device — The PCI Device Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent PCI devices for manageability, including PCI, PCI-X, PCI Express, bridge and switch devices.
• Physical Asset — The Physical Asset Profile extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by adding the capability to describe the physical aspects of logical elements that the implementation is instantiating.
• Power State Management — The Power State Management Profile describes the classes, associations, properties, and methods used to manage the power of a computer system.
• Profile Registration — The Profile Registration extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by adding the capability to describe the registration and versioning of CIM profiles that are implemented by CIM based system and component management instrumentations.
• RecordLog — The Record Log Profile is an autonomous profile that provides the management capabilities to represent logs of a managed system element.
• Sensors — The Sensors Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent sensors.
• Software Inventory — The Software Inventory Profile describes the CIM schema elements required to provide an inventory of installed BIOS, firmware, drivers, and related software in a managed system.
• Device Tray — The Device Tray Profile is a component profile for modeling a device tray of a modular system.
• Software Update — The Software Update Profile describes the classes, associations, properties, and methods used to support the installation and update of BIOS, firmware, drivers and related software on a managed element within a managed system.
• Base Desktop and Mobile — The Base Desktop and Mobile Profile is an autonomous profile that defines the classes used to describe monolithic desktop or mobile computer hardware and related software. The scope of this profile is limited to monolithic desktop or mobile computer hardware and related software that are directly realized in physical components.

Extended profiles:
