Profiles for Dell Command | Monitor 10.3
Dell Command | Monitor running on Windows operating system uses industry standard profiles to represent the management
data provided. These profiles are implemented either as defined or sometimes have Dell-specific extensions.
The following is a list of profiles that are implemented for Dell Command | Monitor for Windows:
Nonextended profiles:
● Base Metrics—The Base Metrics Profile is a component profile that defines the minimum object model that is must provide
dynamic metrics that are associated to existing managed elements and related associations.
● Battery—The Battery Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to
represent batteries for manageability. The battery as a logical device is modeled as referencing the battery physical package
for physical asset information, the sensor for sensor-reading information, and the profile registration for the schema
implementation version information.
● BIOS Management—The BIOS Management Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding
the capability to represent and configure BIOS settings, such as a Network Controller or IDE Controller. The individual BIOS
settings’ relationship with a respective device is also described.
● Boot Control—The Boot Control Profile describes the classes, associations, properties, and methods that are used to
manage the boot control configurations of a physical or virtual computer system.
● CPU—The CPU Profile extends the management capability of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent
CPUs or processors in a managed system . CPU cache memory and associations with CPU physical aspects, and profile
implementation version information, are modeled in this profile.
● Fan—The Fan Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to represent fans
for manageability and describe fans in a redundant configuration. The fan as a logical device is modeled as referencing the
fan physical package for physical asset information, a sensor for sensor reading information.
● Indications—The Indications Profile defines the CIM elements that are used to subscribe for indications of unsolicited
events, to advertise the possible indications, and to represent indications that are used to report events in a managed
system.
● IP Interface—The IP Interface Profile extends the management capability of referencing profiles by adding the capability to
represent an IP interface of a managed system.
● Operating system Status—The operating system Status Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles
by adding the capability to perform basic management of operating systems installed on a system.
● PCI Device—The PCI Device Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to
represent PCI devices for manageability, including PCI, PCI-X, PCI Express, bridge, and switch devices.
● Physical Asset—The Physical Asset Profile extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by adding the
capability to describe the physical aspects of logical elements that the implementation is instantiating.
● Power State Management—The Power State Management Profile describes the classes, associations, properties, and
methods that are used to manage the power of a computer system.
● Profile Registration—The Profile Registration extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by adding the
capability to describe the registration and versioning of CIM profiles that are implemented by CIM-based system and
component management instrumentations.
● RecordLog—The Record Log Profile is an autonomous profile that provides the management capabilities to represent logs of
a managed system element.
● Sensors—The Sensors Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to
represent sensors.
● Software Inventory—The Software Inventory Profile describes the CIM schema elements that are required to provide an
inventory of installed BIOS, firmware, drivers, and related software in a managed system.
● Device Tray—The Device Tray Profile is a component profile for modeling a device tray of a modular system.
● Software Update—The Software Update Profile describes the classes, associations, properties, and methods used to
support the installation and update of BIOS, firmware, drivers, and related software on a managed element within a managed
system.
● Base Desktop and Mobile—The Base Desktop and Mobile Profile is an autonomous profile that defines the classes that are
used to describe monolithic desktop or mobile computer hardware and related software. The scope of this profile is limited to
monolithic desktop or mobile computer hardware and related software that are directly realized in physical components.
