DCIM_BootSourceSetting
Property Description
BIOSBootString
A string identifying the boot source which corresponds to the string
used by the BIOS to uniquely name the boot source. For example, in
systems which implement the BIOS Boot Specification, the string
could correspond to the descString string for entries in the IPL Table
or BCV Table.
ElementName
The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition,
the user-friendly name can be used as an index property for a search
or query.
NOTE: The name does not have to be unique within a
namespace.
FailThroughSupported
An enumeration indicating the behavior when the attempt to boot
using the boot source fails (no media, timeout).
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Is Supported — Indicates that next boot source the boot order
is used.
• 2 = Not Supported — Indicates that the boot order is terminated
and no other boot sources associated to the same
CIM_BootConfigSetting are used).
The default value is 1 (is supported).
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: <OrgID> : <LocalID> 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.
StructuredBootString
A string identifying the boot source using the format
<OrgID>:<identifier>:<index>, in which neither<OrgID>, <identifier>
or <index> contains a colon (:). The value of <OrgID>is a copyrighted,
trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the entity
defining the <identifier>, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the
226
