Property Description
MinNumberNeeded
MinNumberNeeded indicates the smallest number of elements that MUST be operational in
order to function. For example, in an N+1 redundancy relationship, the MinNumberNeeded
property is set equal to N. In a 'LimitedSparing' environment, this property is meaningless
and SHOULD be set to zero.
RedundancyStatus
RedundancyStatus provides information on the state of the RedundancyGroup.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = DMTF Reserved
• 2 = Fully Redundant — Indicates that all of the congured redundancy is still available
• 3 = Degraded Redundancy — Indicates that some congured elements are degraded,
missing or failed but that the number of elements in the set is still greater than the
minimum required (MinNumberNeeded);
• 4 = Redundancy Lost — Indicates that sucient congured elements are missing or
failed that no redundancy is available and the next failure experienced will cause overall
failure.
• 5 = Overall Failure — Indicates that there has been an overall failure of the
RedundancySet.
TypeOfSet
TypeOfSet provides information on the type of redundancy. - N+1 (=2) indicates all members
are active, are unaware and function independent of one another. However, there exist at
least one extra member to achieve functionality. Sparing is implied (i.e. each member can be
a spare for the other(s). An example of N+1 is a system that has 2 power supplies, but needs
only 1 power supply to functioning properly.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = N+1
• 3 = Load Balanced — Indicates all members are active. However, there functionality is
not independent of each other. Their functioning is determined by some sort of load
balancing algorithm (implemented in hardware and/or software). Sparing is implied (i.e.
each member can be a spare for the other(s).
• 4 = Sparing — Indicates that all members are active and are aware of each others.
However, their functionality is independent until failover. Each member can be a spare
for the other(s).
• 5 = Limited Sparing — Indicates that all members are active, and they may or may not
be aware of each and they are not spares for each other. Instead, their redundancy is
indicated by the IsSpare relationship.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved

Property
Description
CommonName
A Common Name is a (possibly ambiguous) name by which the role is commonly known in
some limited scope (such as an organization) and conforms to the naming conventions of
the country or culture with which it is associated.
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When
used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this
class and its subclasses to be uniquely identied.
