Property Description
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.
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.
