Property Description
In many respects, a Blade can be considered a Module/Card.
However, it is tracked differently by inventory systems and differs
in terms of service philosophy. For example, a Blade is intended to
be hot-plugged into a hosting enclosure without requiring additional
cabling, and does not require a cover to be removed from the
enclosure for installation. Similarly, a Blade Expansion has
characteristics of a Blade and a Module/Card. However, it is
distinct from both due to inventory tracking and service philosophy,
and because of its hardware dependence on a Blade. A Blade
Expansion must be attached to a Blade prior to inserting the
resultant assembly into an enclosure.
PartNumber
The part number assigned by the organization that is responsible
for producing or manufacturing the PhysicalElement.
PropertyOwnershipTag
Property Ownership Tag of a system.
SecurityBreach
An enumerated, integer-valued property indicating whether a
physical breach of the Frame was attempted but unsuccessful
(value = 4) or attempted and successful (value = 5).
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Unknown
• 3 = No Breach
• 4 = Breach Attempted
• 5 = Breach Successful
SKU
The stock-keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
Serial Number
Manufacturer-allocated number is used to identify the physical
element.
Version
Indicates the version of the identified physical element.
Tag
An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical Element and
serves as the key of the Element. The Tag property can contain
information such as asset tag or serial number data. The key for
PhysicalElement is placed very high in the object hierarchy in order
to independently identify the hardware or entity, regardless of
physical placement in or on Cabinets, Adapters, and so on. For
example, a hotswappable or removable component can be taken
from its containing (scoping) Package and be temporarily unused.
The object still continues to exist and can even be inserted into a
different scoping container. Therefore, the key for Physical
Element is an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any
placement or location-oriented hierarchy.
VendorCompatibilityStrings
An array of strings that identify the component that is compatible
with, and can be inserted in a slot that reports this string as one of
the array element in the VendorCompatibilityStrings. This allows
system administrators to determine whether it is appropriate to
insert a package into a slot to ensure uniqueness within the
NameSpace, each value defined by the vendor for use in the
VendorCompatibilityStrings property SHOULD be constructed
using the following preferred algorithm: : Where and are separated
by a colon ':', and where MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked
or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity
creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is
assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority
