Property Description
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 (This is similar to the _ structure of
Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure
uniqueness MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When
using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in
InstanceID MUST appear between and . is chosen
by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used
to identify different underlying (real-world)
elements.
