Property Description

InstanceID

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:

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.

Property Description

ElementName

ElementName A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to

define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description

information.

NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a

user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable

that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name,

without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for

instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the

Name and ElementName properties.
