DCIM_BIOSEnumeration
Table 93. BIOSEnumeration
Property Description
AttributeName
A string identifying the structured element name for a BIOS attribute using the
format <OrgID> : <identifier> in which <OrgID>, does contain 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 entity
by a recognized global authority. For DMTF defined identifiers, the <OrgID> is set to
DMTF and the <identifier> is specified in the BIOS Attribute Registry. <identifier>
CurrentValue
An array of strings representing the current value or values of the BIOS Attribute.
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely
identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the
NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following
preferred algorithm: <OrgID> : <LocalID> Where <LocalID> and <OrgID> are
separated by a colon :, and where <OrgID> 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 <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 re-used to identify different underlying (real-
world) elements. If the above preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity
MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs
produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF
defined instances, the preferred algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to
CIM.
IsReadOnly
This property specifies if the underlying system BIOS or BIOSService will not allow
the Attribute to be modified through calls tothe methods
CIM_BIOSService.SetBIOSAttribute or CIM_BIOSService.SetBIOSDefaults. This does
not mean the Attribute can not be modified through other means. Only that the CIM
interfaceis not capable of making a change.
PossibleValues
An array of strings containing possible value definitions for the Attribute. The first
element SHOULD not be NULL and there SHOULD be no NULL or empty string
elements intermixed with populated array element values. A Value of NULL indicates
an element's value is unknown.
PossibleValuesDescription
An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in
the CIM_BIOSEnumeration.PossibleValues array. Note that each entry of this array is
related to the entry in PossibleValues array that is located at the same index.
