Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 8.5 CIM Reference Guide

The Dell CIM provider extends support to Dell-specific software and hardware components. The Dell MOF defines the classes for the Dell CIM provider. All of the supported classes and properties in the MOF are documented in this guide.

The following subsections define some of the basic building blocks of CIM classes that are used in describing the dccim32 provider name. These subsections also explain how the elements used in describing these classes are organized. This section does not document the entire CIM schema, but only those classes and properties supported by the dccim32 provider. The list of properties for each supported class varies greatly.

The property values being presented could be NULL or empty string on some systems, although in general, some non-empty values can be expected. Key properties (listed below) always carry non-empty values. It is recommended that you use only the following properties as key attributes:
